CFTEA Council Member Spotlight: Meet Lauren Harrington!
Retail Training Specialist | Machias Savings Bank
Lauren Harrington is no stranger to the power of continued learning. Starting her career with no prior banking experience, Lauren credits CFTEA with helping her build the skills and confidence to reach both short- and long-term career goals.
“I highly recommend CFTEA to anyone looking to grow in their current role or explore a new career path. Their courses offer a great way to see if a different role might be the right fit for the future.”
Now, she’s giving back—joining CFTEA as a council member to support others on their journey.
“I’m inspired to be part of a group that actively supports personal growth. I’m excited to help create opportunities that empower others to learn and advance in their careers.”
Lauren’s experience isn’t just professional, it’s personal. She recalls transferring credits from another provider with her first certificate and feeling anxious they wouldn’t count. But with support from Tammy in the CFTEA office, that experience became a perfect example of CFTEA’s flexibility and care.
“I’ve never forgotten her kindness and flexibility. It really showed what CFTEA is all about.”
As a new council member, Lauren is eager to collaborate, innovate, and help shape meaningful programs that make a real difference in people’s careers.
“Seeing the impact of our work through new initiatives and watching individuals progress in their careers will be incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, I’m eager to collaborate with passionate and like-minded individuals who are dedicated to fostering a continuous learning environment.”
We’re thrilled to welcome her to the CFTEA Advisory Council!
Help us celebrate Lauren and the powerful role learning plays in every career journey.
