What does Malone mean to you?:  "Malone is my home and I want it to be a safe place that supports the well being of its citizens. It has impressive architecture and history, and to maintain its health takes work. I'm willing to work for it." 

Christine Marshall

Treasurer

Branch Manager
Seacomm Federal Credit Union

I was born in the North Country and raised in Malone.  Graduated from Franklin Academy in 1996 and attended SUNY Plattsburgh.  Coming from a long line of community driven family members it was only natural that I gravitated to a company that gives back to its community and that I personally support the communities that I live and work.  I have been employed with SeaComm Federal Credit Union for 25 years and I currently hold the position as Branch Manager for our Malone branch.  I have been the Town Clerk for the town I reside in for more than 20 years and belong to Hospice of the North Country Board. 
 
Malone is my home.  I look forward to serving on the Chamber Board to further support and promote my community.
