A year of success and growth First Federal of Greene County notes achievements in 2025
WAYNESBURG, PA -Shortly after marking 101 years of service in early 2025, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Greene County continued adding to its history with the opening of its eleventh office in Fairchance, Pa.
The new full-service branch – which hosted a grand opening in April – was just one of many achievements highlighting the Association’s successes and growth last year, according to Charles W. Trump, Jr., President/CEO of First Federal of Greene County, who reviewed those accomplishments during the Jan. 28 annual meeting of members.
“The local communities and neighborhoods were fantastically welcoming and supportive, and the business and relationships that have continued to evolve and expand in the last several months have been fulfilling and meaningful,” Trump wrote in his annual President’s Report about the Fairchance office. “This project seemed to be the perfect launch into the next century of service for First Federal of Greene County.”
Turning to the Association’s successes in 2025, Trump remarked that no contributing factor is more paramount than its employees.
“The men and women responsible for running each transaction, managing each relationship and conversation and ensuring that each customer is handled with care are crucial to the Association’s success,” Trump wrote.
The work family and employee longevity are two unique features First Federal of Greene County has maintained in a rapidly changing workforce environment. Last year saw the retirement of six long-time employees, whose individual service years added up to almost two centuries.
“This year was marked with bittersweet retirements of some of those special souls that carry out our service mission,” Trump said. “Most companies today do not experience the blessing of longevity with their employees, but what a blessing to have a combined 172 years of service from these retirees.”
Other areas of success in 2025 included numerous investments and upgrades in technology and across bank operations, which only help the Association deliver better service, safety and security for customers.
Financial highlights from 2025 included $1.010 billion in assets, $850 million in deposits, and $701 million in the Association’s mortgage portfolio, a $29 million increase over 2024. The year-end mortgage effective yield totaled 4.32 percent.
“As with the last few years, funds on deposit represented the most volatile aspect of asset-liability management,” Trump noted, adding that the Association will continue “monitoring the competitive field of financial institutions and mitigating deposit funds reduction by offering competitive and sensible rates of return on various deposit products.”
Along with Trump, the Board of Directors includes Chairwoman Judi Goodwin Tanner, Gregory A. Parsons, Jay S. Hammers, Murray W. Hoy, Stephen M. Neubauer, Douglas A. Wilson and Michael C. Baily. Neubauer and Baily were re-elected to 3-year terms on the Board. John E. Mariner and Henry T. Cochran serve as Directors Emeritus.
Also during the Association’s annual meeting, Trump was re-elected President/CEO, and the following Association officers were once againelected: Chad M. Moore, Executive Vice President; Jeffrey B. Widdup, Vice President; Courtney A. Schroyer, Vice President/Chief Financial Officer; Kathleen M. Toth, Vice President/Secretary; Terry L. Clutter, Vice President/Treasurer/Assistant Secretary; Sarah A. Westfall, Assistant Vice President; Danielle R. Tobusto, Assistant Vice President; Aimee D. Toothman, Assistant Vice President; and Brian E. Moody, Assistant Treasurer.
As First Federal of Greene County enters its 102nd year of service, all of its various people and parts add up to a powerful engine driving the Association forward. Fittingly, Trump referenced a famous quote by famed businessman and Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford.
“Our employees, officers and Board of Directors are excited to be a part of such a storied and successful organization,” Trump wrote. “As we venture past the century mark, our evolution, success and progression will be carried out carefully, thoughtfully and strategically, with the customer and community at heart.
“Henry Ford offered, ‘Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.’ First Federal of Greene County takes pride in being woven into the fabric of our special neighborhoods and towns, helping to unite behind the healthy and crucial efforts of working together as our journey continues.”
