As He Steps Down, USNY Bank Honors
Robert Ranger With Emeritus Standing
COOPERSTOWN – Robert Ranger of West Winfield has been named director emeritus of the Bank of Cooperstown’s parent company, USNY Bank, effective at the annual shareholder meeting in April, when his term as board director ends.
He is the first board member to be given this distinction, reflecting his role in the founding of USNY Bank.
Former Fleet Bank regional president and president/CEO of Wyoming County Bank, Ranger has 40 years of experience in commercial banking, half as a senior bank executive.
He currently owns and operates RWR Funding, consulting and arranging taxable and tax-exempt financing for municipalities, health care, public schools, volunteer fire companies, community banks and corporate entities. He also sits on the Board for NYCM Insurance, Edmeston.
He resides in West Winfield with his wife, Marjorie.
It is a shame that the Chamber is honoring NYCM considering that NYCM just donated several thousands of dollars to a NY Senator (James Seward) that does not support equal civil rights and is adamantly against gay marriage. We have no room and no need for hate mongers in this country anymore! NYCM is an ultra conservative Insurance company in Edmeston NY which typically aligns itself and its campaign donations to ultra conservative anti gay politicians and agendas! NYCM only writes insurance policies in New York and I would strongly urge any self respecting LGBT individual and civil rights advocates to boycott this company and spread the word. NYCM is just another typically greedy company whose owners reap the rewards of their loyal hardworking employees who bring in all the profit for them and then NYCM turns around and pays their employees who have a masters degree $14/hr. Oh and by the way, they also just recently took away their employees 15 minute breaks. Nice appreciative owners right? considering they are making millions in profit by seriously exploiting labor!!!
