Eglin Federal Credit Union is pleased to announce Navarre Member Service Counselor Leigh Lewis has been selected as the 5-Star Performer for the third quarter of 2023. Leigh has been employed with the Credit Union for 16 years and currently resides in Navarre.

Pace Member Service Supervisor Juliana Powell said, “Leigh has been a huge asset in the training effort to get our Pace team ready for the Pace Branch opening. She also participates in many volunteer opportunities, including most recently as a captain for one of the dragon boats in the Bring Hope Now boat race to raise money for suicide prevention and awareness.”

Leigh began her career at the Credit Union in 2007 as a part-time Member Service Rep in the Call Center. She transferred to Navarre as a part-time Teller and was promoted to Member Service Information Assistant in Mary Esther in 2011. She held positions as a Teller and Member Service Counselor at the Mary Esther Branch for several years before transferring to her current position at the Navarre Branch as Member Service Counselor.

VP of Branch Operations Bron Ringstad added, “We are grateful to have employees like Leigh who are so dedicated to our members. To have members regularly ask for her by name says a lot about the high level of service she provides, and we are happy to recognize her with the 5-Star Performer Award.”

The 5-Star Performer Award is a quarterly employee recognition program. The nominator provides a written submission describing how the employee embraces EFCU's Five-Star Values: Respectful, Trustworthy, Dedicated, Proactive and Engaged.

“I really appreciate working at the Credit Union,” Leigh said during her celebration. “I feel like this company is as vested in me as I am in them, and I love that. It’s a great relationship!”
