Harrisburg, PA (January 30, 2023) - Two PSECU executives were named to the 2023 Top 100 People list by PA Business Central (PBC). George Rudolph, PSECU President & CEO, has been on the list for three consecutive years, but this marks the first year for Barb Bowker, PSECU Chief Member Experience Officer.
The Top 100 People list is compiled with input from community leaders, chambers of commerce, and PBC readers across the publication’s 23-county area. It serves as an opportunity to highlight the vibrancy of central PA’s socio-economic climate by recognizing the leaders who drive it forward every day.
“I truly appreciate being recognized again as a member of PBC's Top 100 People list,” said Rudolph. “Serving in my role is a great honor as I have the opportunity, every day, to contribute to positive change for PSECU members and non-members alike. It is my goal that PSECU be a trusted financial partner and an advocate for the well-being of the communities we serve throughout central PA and beyond.”
According to PBC, the Top 100 People list aims to celebrate powerhouse individuals in business and economic development who have excelled in supporting their organizations and communities by exhibiting “the vision, dedication, and drive to not only complete the task, but to envision, expand, and excel.”
“Because I am a lifelong PA resident, it means so much to me to be recognized in this capacity,” remarked Bowker. “I care deeply about the success of Pennsylvania communities and residents and, in my role at PSECU, I am focused on ensuring each of our members has the support they need to achieve more.”
