Jill Thomas-Aviles of Jacksonville is among 31 credit union professionals and volunteers named as 2021 Credit Union Rock Stars by the editorial team of Credit Union Magazine.

The Credit Union Rock Stars program recognizes outstanding credit union professionals and volunteers from a wide range of disciplines who use their unique strengths to advance the missions of their credit unions. This year’s winners were selected for their exceptional creativity, innovation and passion.

Thomas-Aviles is the Vice-President of Operations and Digital Strategy at Jax Federal Credit Union, which is headquartered in Jacksonville and serves members across Northeast Florida. Her story appears on CUNA News, a website published by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).

Thomas-Aviles has worked for Jax Federal Credit Union for 23 years. She has been a key part of implementing the credit union’s digital communications strategy, from guiding their very first telephone and home banking program in 2000 to managing the development of wireless ATMs so members have access to disaster funds throughout the pandemic. Most recently, she led the launch of a new digital and mobile banking platform that allows members to more easily manage, track and link their accounts through one system.

Sponsored by Fiserv, Credit Union Rock Stars will be profiled in a special digital issue of Credit Union Magazine.
