Kelsey Marquis, SVP & CFO at cPort Credit Union, accepted the award during the Maine Children’s Alliance Champions for Children Celebration on November 4, 2021. “We like that the Giraffe Award is presented to people and organizations that “stick their neck out” for Maine children, youth, and families. At cPort Credit Union, this is something we engage in. We believe that trying new things and taking calculated risks is the best way to stay current and support our communities. At cPort, when we stick our necks out, we are actually trying to listen more closely” explained SVP & CFO Marquis.
