Brenda S. Pomerleau, St.Mary's Credit Union, Leominster
Pomerleau.
The new assistant vice president of compliance at St. Mary's Credit Union in Marlborough was not that far off the mark in her early ambitions for a career in the accounting or the legal world. Brenda S. Pomerleau's new position is a hybrid of both. The Pelham, N.H., resident has had a role in banks' security and compliance for the past 13 years, having previously held positions at banks and credit unions in Lowell and Methuen. In this Q&A, she says she has a full regulatory agenda ahead.
