the CEO
While a new year can symbolize and even bring a fresh start, we know that a lot of our members are still hurting or in limbo as we all try to navigate our way through the challenges that the past almost 2 years have presented. We are here to empower all of our membership and to be a steady hand for those that need one in 2022 and beyond. Yours in service, Daniel Czerniawski President & CEO
Letter from
Dear Valued Member, Winter is no longer coming. It is finally here. As the crisp air fills our masked nostrils, we here at ActorsFCU are hopeful for the future & united in our purpose - “to provide financial empowerment to members of the creative community." We are thrilled to have presented the first scholarship in honor of our longtime trustee & friend, Mel Boudrot. Any opportunity to aid a young member in furthering their arts education is worthwhile & we wholeheartedly welcome the chance to do so in the name of an industry stalwart like Mel who dedicated so much energy toward mentorship and his fellow members. This Halloween our staff got to showcase their costumed creativity both in the office and via video chat, serving our members with spine-tingling smiles.
Mel Boudrot Scholarship for the Cinematic Arts
Mel Boudrot served as an ActorsFCU trustee, SAG NY President & National Board Member. Born in Boston, Mel had an illustrious career performing & in service. His sought after "Boudrot-type" voice could be heard in ads for decades & he recurred on-camera in All My Children & The Doctors. Mel passed away in October 2020 at the age of 87. We are proud to award this scholarship in his honor so that another young actor can pursue their education in the arts.
Cassidy May Benullo
We are proud to award this scholarship to Cassidy, a long-time member of the credit union to help her further their education in the arts!
And the award goes to...
Struck by a love of musical theater at an early age, Cassidy began her career as a voice-over actress 9 years ago. Now a high school student, Cassidy works three jobs, including teaching singing lessons, while maintaining a 4.2 GPA. With this award, she hopes to continue education in the arts by studying musical theater in college.

One of the fastest and easiest ways to send money to those you know and trust is to send money digitally using peer-to-peer (P2P) payments. P2P payments enable you to send money to another person right from an app on your mobile device by using a linked bank account, credit card or debit card. Splitting expenses? No problem. It makes sending and receiving money with friends and family easy and more convenient than writing checks or handling cash. Plus, it can be done right from the Actors FCU app.
