Eglin Federal Credit Union is pleased to congratulate PAL & Title Supervisor Lela Corlew for 25 years of service. Lela currently resides in Fort Walton Beach.
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, a celebratory breakfast was held at the Operations Center to honor Lela’s milestone anniversary. Friends, family and coworkers gathered to recognize her dedication and contributions.
Loan Services Manager Hunter Nichols shared his admiration, saying, “What stands out to me about Lela is how she treats her coworkers like family and speaks about Eglin FCU as if it’s her home. Her dedication to her work is something I deeply appreciate. When you give Lela an assignment, she goes above and beyond to find an answer or solution — even if it means spending countless hours on the phone with state DMVs or dealerships. Her integrity, work ethic and consistency have helped shape Eglin FCU into what it is today. She continues to be a shining example of a five-star employee.”
Lela began her career with Eglin Federal Credit Union in October 2000 as a part-time Call Center Member Services Representative at the Fort Walton Beach branch. In 2004, she transitioned into the role of part-time Special Services Representative, continuing to build her expertise in member support. In February 2007, Lela was promoted to full-time Member Service Counselor at the Mary Esther branch. She briefly served as a Returned Items Representative in 2009 before returning to Mary Esther as a Member Service Counselor in 2010, where she spent over a decade providing exceptional service. In June 2021, Lela advanced to her current position as PAL & Title Supervisor at the Operations Center. In this role, she leads a team of PAL & Title Processors, ensuring accuracy, efficiency and a continued commitment to Eglin FCU’s mission.
“The comments about Eglin FCU feeling like family couldn’t be more true,” Lela said. “Whether we’ve worked together for years or just a short time, each of you means the world to me and holds a special place in my heart. I’ve truly enjoyed serving Eglin FCU over the past 25 years, and I look forward to continuing this journey with my work family and making a difference for our members, because that’s what it’s all about.”
