Board of Directors since 2021
Executive Committee 2022
Ambassador Group since 1997
I was born and raised in Watertown, and after graduating from Watertown High School, I attended and graduated from University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where I received a degree in Business and Marketing. After graduation, I worked at several financial institutions, including Landmark Credit Union, and worked my way up to various positions, including Vice President at M&I Bank. For the past 8 years, I have been the Branch Manager at Bank of Lake Mills in Watertown.
I love living and working in my hometown of Watertown, and being able to contribute to our community! At work, I help both consumers and businesses with their deposit account needs, as well as customers with their consumer loans. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than to see a customer set a financial goal, and then watch them achieve it! I also love helping employees meet their personal career goals and watch them take pride in doing their jobs.
Through the years, I have been involved in numerous organizations in Watertown, including Kiwanis, and have been serving as a Chamber Ambassador for over 20 years. Most recently, I am also on the Chamber Board of Directors and the Secretary of the Executive Board of Directors.
I live in Watertown with my husband and have 3 grown sons. In my spare time I love to bake, attend various music venues and sporting events, bass fish, and travel to new destinations!
Fort Community Credit Union (FCCU) is pleased to announce the promotion of Jeffery Anderson to Director of Marketing.
In 2017, Anderson joined FCCU as a Marketing Intern while pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business with a Digital Marketing Certificate at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Following his graduation in 2018, Anderson joined FCCU full-time as Marketing & Digital Media Specialist.
“Jeffery’s ingenuity and leadership have been instrumental in FCCU’s success over the past five years, especially as digital channels continue to become more important in the financial services industry,” said Danielle Frawley, Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer at FCCU. “We are incredibly proud of the talent Jeffery, and the entire Marketing Team, bring to FCCU.”
Anderson spends much of his free time volunteering in the community.
In 2018, Anderson joined for The Flock, a group of soccer supporters who raise awareness and funds for charitable organizations in southern Wisconsin. Anderson became the Marketing Committee Lead in 2019, helping the organization raise nearly $60,000 in the first two years.
Anderson also served on the inaugural Lemon Council for Fort Atkinson’s Lemonade Day, an in-depth program that teachers kids how to start and run their own businesses via a lemonade stand.
Anderson also enjoys reading and spending time with his dog Marcel, also known as FCCU’s honorary “Chief Cuteness Officer”.
Leadership Watertown strives to develop a corps of informed, committed, and qualified individuals capable of and willing to provide dynamic leadership in the Watertown area.
Leadership Watertown is a dedicated group of the members of this community, giving our time and talents to educate others why Watertown was and continues to be a great place to work, visit and live.
In partnership with the City of Watertown and the Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Watertown is raising funds to erect a “wayfinding pillar” with the goal of initiating a series of such pillars throughout the community. This pillar will be placed along a soon-to-be constructed section of the Riverwalk next to the new Town Square. Located on the Rock River, this space will soon be a gathering place for everyday enjoyment and events. It will be a busy activity center for concerts, markets, children’s programs, and more. To learn more about this program or to donate please contact Alex Allon, Development Coordinator for the City of Watertown AAllon@CityofWatertown.org
