​Cornerstone Resources’ executive search and professional recruiting division is pleased to announce its latest expansion into new territory. Cornerstone Resources – a subsidiary of Cornerstone League – landed a contract to conduct an executive search for the chief financial officer position at Spirit of Alaska Federal Credit Union, a $206 million asset credit union in Fairbanks, Alaska.

This new contract marks an exciting milestone for Cornerstone Resources as it continues to expand its reach and reputation for excellence in the credit union industry. With this latest partnership, Cornerstone Resources will leverage its extensive knowledge to identify and recruit qualified candidates for the CFO role at Spirit of Alaska FCU.

“We are thrilled to work with Spirit of Alaska FCU on its search for a CFO,” said Marcus Cotton, vice president of executive search at Cornerstone Resources. “Our team has a deep understanding of the credit union industry and we are confident that our expertise and resources will help identify the best candidate for this vital position.”

Cotton added, “Cornerstone Resources is dedicated to providing exceptional service and results for our clients, and we are grateful for the trust that Spirit of Alaska FCU has placed in our organization. We look forward to building a strong and successful partnership with them. We hope that other credit unions will leverage this service when faced with a challenging executive search.”

Spirit of Alaska FCU President/CEO Anthony Rizk said his credit union prioritized recruiting a CFO who could be successful in this role and is confident Cornerstone Resources’ credit union expertise will help the credit union find the right candidate.

“I performed my own due diligence in locating a search firm that would partner with us and understood what we truly were looking for,” he said. “Cornerstone easily fit that requirement for us, over three other respectable vendors. Cornerstone Resources has a strong focus in the credit union space in general, and I felt very comfortable with the idea they truly knew the CFO role in credit unions, and could help us find exactly the right candidate we were looking for.”
