Kalamazoo, MI (August 23, 2024) |
Grand Rapids’ Scott Vogel has been elected as an associate director to the Board of Consumers Credit Union effective July 2024. Vogel is the co-owner of two Nothing Bundt Cakes locations in West Michigan, opening as the first franchisee in the State.
“We are very excited to have Scott join us,” said Scott Sylvester, Consumers CEO and president. “His passion for the Grand Rapids community and business acumen make him a valuable asset to our Board.”
Vogel has had a successful career in product marketing and innovation, with over 20 years of experience. Since opening his first Nothing Bundt Cakes location in 2017, the business has donated more than $400,000 in cake and financial contributions to West Michigan non-profit organizations. Consumers infamously partnered with the bakery before COVID to host the World’s Largest Cake Walk events that ran alongside ArtPrize.
“I look forward to working with the talented team at Consumers and being a part of their continued success and dedication to its members,” said Vogel. “As a local business owner and resident, I am committed to making a positive impact and supporting the wonderful community we have here.”
As Vogel is welcomed in, Consumers expresses its thanks to long-time board member Brent Bassett, who is stepping down in August after serving for more than 13 years, including time spent as chairman.
“We extend our deepest gratitude for Brent’s dedication, kindness and the success he has brought during his tenure,” said Sylvester. “His legacy of compassion and remarkable character will continue to inspire us."
Bassett is the current director of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. and president and founder of BDN Industrial Hygiene Consultants, Inc., which focuses on safety, health and environmental consulting.
