More about Sean:
As business development and growth officer in the marketing department, Sean Cervantes (left) will focus on membership growth through the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” while emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion. He brings more than 13 years of management experience, including six years in the credit union industry, to LAFCU. His most recent role was as indirect/dealer relations manager and community development manager at a Lansing-based credit union, where he managed vendor relationships, loan underwriting, and approvals. He previously served as director of operations and senior branch manager at another credit union.
An Eaton Rapids resident, Cervantes holds an associate degree in financial institution management from Lansing Community College and a bachelor’s degree in corporate communication from Siena Heights University in Adrian. He is also a Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC).
Cervantes said he hopes to build strong relationships and help more people reach their financial goals in his new role. “It’s not the job titles that have mattered most in my career—it’s the people. I’ve spent my entire adult life in the Lansing area, and I’m proud to be part of a community that’s hardworking and resilient. I’m excited to represent LAFCU and to help members understand and achieve their financial dreams. LAFCU is built on people helping people—not because they have to, but because it’s the right thing to do.”
