On Thursday, August 7, communities across the United Way service area came together for a single, powerful day of service: the United Way of Central New York Day of Caring. This annual volunteer tradition marks the launch of United Way’s fall fundraising campaign and mobilizes employees, neighbors, and local leaders to support nonprofits with hands-on help, and over 50 employees from each of the Community Financial System, Inc. companies participated in a special opportunity at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse. In 2024, CFSI employees donated $160,000 to 12 United Ways across our footprint, and in 2025, we donated $25,000 to the United Way of Central NY! We are pleased to support the United Way as a CFSI Signature Community Partnership 🧡 #CFSI #UnitedWayDayofCaring #Leadership #CommunityService

Meet the new CFO of Community Financial System, Inc. — and the first woman to hold the role. Buffalo native and industry veteran Marya Burgio Wlos brings a unique perspective to the position — one shaped not by a traditional accounting path, but by diverse experience across the financial sector. As Community Bank deepens its roots in Western New York and across our Northeast footprint, Wlos sees both opportunity and purpose: "We have a very specific mandate in WNY, where we feel there is a huge opportunity — because of people like me moving back to the area. There's a lot of great talent in Buffalo that we want to tap into, as well as a strong customer base." https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pow.ly/M8KU50WqAsO #Leadership #WNY #CommunityBank #CFSI #WomenInFinance #BuffaloNY
