REGION — At the start of the new year, Oxford Federal Credit Union welcomed Joann Bisson to the role of Executive Vice President. Bisson had been the President/CEO of Trademark Federal Credit Union in Scarborough since 2013, where she successfully led the organization through a field of membership expansion and built a branch in the new community Trademark serves.

“This new role offered me the opportunity to move closer to my family while staying in an industry that I love,” said Bisson. “The Oxford team has been extremely welcoming and supportive of my joining the team. It is a pleasure to work with such dedicated individuals.”

The Executive VP role was created as part of a succession plan preparing the organization for the upcoming retirement of current President/CEO of Oxford FCU, Matt Kaubris. “We are all excited for Joann to join our team. Her experience and leadership style are a terrific fit for us,” said Kaubris.

Joann Bisson has over 20 years of experience in financial institutions and serves on several Maine Credit Union League boards and committees. “I also serve on the board of the Mark Baumer Sustainability Fund, in honor of my cousin who was struck and killed by an automobile in 2017 while walking across America barefoot to raise awareness for climate change. The fund recently gave a grant to the Mountain Valley Outdoors Club through its Teens to Trails program,” Bisson shared. She and her husband (and cat Marshall) are in the process of relocating from Portland to their new home in Bryant Pond.
