Fort Walton Beach, Fla. – Eglin Federal Credit Union is pleased to congratulate ACH Specialist Suyen Berezo for 25 years of service. Suyen currently resides in Crestview.
On Wednesday, April 1, a celebratory breakfast was held at the Fort Walton Beach Branch to honor Suyen’s milestone anniversary. Friends and coworkers gathered to recognize her dedication and impact on the Credit Union.
After a lighthearted April Fools’ announcement that Suyen would also be retiring — a joke that briefly fooled the entire room — ACH Manager John Cagle praised her contributions, saying, “Suyen is a true leader within the ACH department and someone I would consider the perfect employee. She’s kind, professional and always willing to go above and beyond for our members and employees. She supports the frontline staff with her extensive knowledge and consistently demonstrates care and patience. I’m glad to have her on my team, and the Credit Union is a better place because she’s here.”
“Suyen is genuine, dependable and takes pride in doing her job well,” said VP of Payment Systems Amanda Lewis Hendrickson. “I remember how challenging 2020 was for the ACH department with the influx of stimulus checks and all the uncertainty during that time. Her workload was immense, but Suyen showed up every day with a positive attitude, a smile and a commitment to helping our members navigate an unprecedented situation. I am truly grateful for everything she did then, everything she does now and the role she will continue to play in our success.”
Suyen began her career with Eglin FCU on March 29, 2001, as a Teller at the Bluewater Bay Branch. In 2004, she moved to the South Crestview Branch where she continued to work as a Teller for the next eight years. From 2012 to 2016, Suyen served as Accounting Assistant and later as Accounting Clerk/Payroll Assistant at the Fort Walton Beach Branch. She moved into her current role as ACH Specialist in 2016, where she has been an important asset to her team and to the Credit Union for almost a decade.
“Since starting in 2001, I’ve seen Eglin FCU grow from just a handful of branches to what it is today,” Suyen said. “I’m proud to be part of that growth and grateful for ‘my people’ in the ACH department. They are my second family. I look forward to continuing my journey here with them and with so many others who are dear to my heart. You know who you are!”
