Global Women’s Leadership Network Founding Chair Susan Mitchell has passed the baton to Teresa Freeborn, who will serve as the new volunteer chair.
GWLN named Teresa Freeborn, a credit union executive with more than 20 years of senior management experience, as the second volunteer chair in the network’s 12-year history.
“For all those women who belong to the Global Women’s Leadership Network, I promise not to let you down. We have so much to do, but I think together we can really continue the good work of advancing women in leadership roles throughout the world, so thank you for your trust in me,” said Freeborn.
Freeborn has served as President and CEO of Xceed Financial Credit Union in El Segundo, California since 2006. Xceed will be merged in April 2021 with Kinecta Federal Credit Union (KFCU), based in Manhattan Beach, California, at which time Freeborn will become President of KFCU.
She begins her two-year term as volunteer chair after GAC, replacing Susan Mitchell, who is passing the baton after serving as the founding chair since 2009.
“Rest assured that passing the baton does not mean standing down,” said Mitchell, who will continue to serve on Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions’ Board of Directors.
