ALBANY — Broadview Federal Credit Union (Broadview FCU) announced that Lisa Harris is now serving as its new chief legal officer.
She takes over a position previously held by Kendra Rubin, who was recently promoted to chief of staff at Broadview.
Harris joins the credit union’s executive-leadership team as Broadview’s primary legal advisor, overseeing all legal, corporate governance, compliance, and regulatory matters.
Broadview FCU resulted from the 2022 merger involving SEFCU and CAP COM.
A native of upstate New York, Harris brings to the role experience in legal strategy, regulatory compliance, and public service, Broadview said in its May 27 announcement.
Most recently, Harris served as chief compliance officer at Vivint and previously held senior-leadership positions at Meta, where she was director of economic development and director of business strategy and risk within Meta’s law-enforcement organization. Her background also includes service to the New York State government. She served in executive roles for four governors, was deputy counsel to the Senate Majority Republican Conference, and worked as floor counsel, ethics counsel, and counsel to the secretary of the Senate, handling all Senate litigation matters.
“We are pleased to welcome Lisa to Broadview’s executive leadership team. Throughout her career in both the public and private sectors, Lisa has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to integrity, service, and legal innovation,” Michael Castellana, CEO of Broadview FCU, said in the announcement. “Her leadership in navigating complex legal and regulatory environments makes her an ideal fit to lead our legal function during a period of growth and transformation. I am confident she will make a tremendous impact on Broadview and the members we serve.”
As chief legal officer, Harris is responsible for guiding Broadview’s legal strategy in alignment with its business goals. She will also provide counsel to Broadview’s executive and senior leaders and its board of directors on legal topics that include corporate governance, contracts, litigation, and regulatory compliance.
Harris will oversee the legal, compliance, and contract departments, “promoting a culture of ethics, accountability, and operational excellence across the organization,” the credit union said.
“I am thrilled to be a part of this organization, and its growth and success serving our members and the community,” Harris said in the Broadview FCU announcement.
Harris holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from SUNY Fredonia and earned her law degree from Ohio Northern University. She has worked as an adjunct professor at Albany Law School and previously served on the board of CanCode Communities, Broadview noted.
