“We are thrilled to have Tonia continue to expand her role in leading this organization as CEO,” Don Gundlach, chairman of the Point Breeze board of directors, said in a press release. “Her transformational leadership has set our organization on a path for continued success … making the needs of our members top priority and inspiring our amazing team of professionals to strive for constant improvement and personal growth has led us to where we are today.”

In addition to her leadership roles at Point Breeze, Niedzialkowski sits on the boards of the Hunt Valley Business Forum and the Advocacy Committee for the MD|DC Credit Union Association.

“Our board of directors made an excellent choice in naming Tonia as President and CEO of this great organization upon my retirement,” McLaughlin said in the release. “Point Breeze will be well served by Tonia’s extensive knowledge and expertise in serving our members, our employees and our community well into the future.”
