BSNB Announces SUMMIT Employee of the Year

Ballston Spa National Bank announced that Kathleen Fialkowski, business development officer, has received the 2016 SUMMIT Employee of the Year award. At a recent employee meeting, BSNB President and CEO Christopher R. Dowd recognized Fialkowski for her exceptional dedication to customer service and the bank’s core values of teamwork, respect, accountability, integrity and leadership.

“In the relatively short time since Kathy joined BSNB, she’s made a huge impact with both customers and fellow employees,” said Dowd. “Kathy’s customer service skills go above and beyond our already high standards and this recognition is very well deserved. Her consistently positive outlook provides an encouraging example for others to follow.”

Fialkowski, a Rotterdam resident, joined BSNB in 2014 as a branch manager in Burnt Hills. She was promoted later that year to business development officer, which is her current position.

The following monthly Summit Award winners were also recognized for their contributions and commitment to the bank’s customer service objectives: Christine Kernochan, Chris Rowland, Joanna Simard, Matthew Howard, Lydia Griffiths, Bethany Russell, June Lane, and Noelle Kahler.
