The Partnership Federal Credit Union, a $150 million institution based in Arlington, Va., has launched a new consulting division to be called Professional Services.
The Professional Services division, which will be led by Executive Vice President Bonnie Ortiz, is dedicated to "bringing value" through partnership to the credit union community by providing resources to help credit unions "overcome their operational and economic challenges in order to achieve their strategic goals," the credit union said in a statement.
The Partnership FCU also noted that Ortiz will collaborate with credit union executives and their teams to "provide the knowledge, tools and resources they need for the implementation of strategies, tactics and projects necessary to deliver value to their members."
Ortiz, who has more than 45 years of experience in both for-profit and not-for-profit operational management, was formerly the chief operating officer at The Partnership FCU.
"At The Partnership FCU we believe in value through partnership," Theresa Mann, president and CEO of The Partnership FCU, said in a statement. "We know that credit unions of all sizes must optimize people, processes and tools to achieve operational excellence, but do not always have the resources in-house to meet their desired outcomes."
