Personal and Business Banking
Congratulations to Donna Gogliormella, Personal Banker in our Concord Street office, and Wilhelmina “Mina” Murray, IT Specialist, on their selection as this month’s Employees of the Month.
Donna was selected for her role as a team player in helping new trainees, while delivering top notch customer service. Mina was recognized for her extensive contributions to the recent rewiring of the Bank’s Lincoln Street office.
Mark R. Haranas, president and CEO of MutualOne Bank, has announced the promotion of Jean M. Hoskins to the position of branch manager of the Bank’s One Lincoln Street office in Framingham.
Hoskins joined MutualOne Bank in January of this year as a senior personal banker. Her previous experience includes positions as store supervisor and customer service representative with TD Bank. Earlier in her career, she was an associate retail marketing manager and co-op manager with The Rockport Company.
She is a graduate of South Panola High School in Batesville, MS, and earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Jackson (MS) State University.
A Framingham resident, Hoskins is a volunteer with the Pearl Street Cafe and a deacon at the Greater Framingham Community Church (GFCC). She also works with GFCC youth and is involved with mission and outreach work supporting various initiatives in both the MetroWest and international communities.
“Jean’s banking and management background and her dedication to others through her volunteer service work make her a perfect choice as a MutualOne branch manager,” said Haranas. “She shares our commitment to the individual and to the community.”
Chairman Robert P. Lamprey of the MutualOne Charitable Foundation announced today that a recent $1,500 Foundation donation will cover the purchase of five cases of brand name headphones for use by fifth grade students at the Mary E. Stapleton School in Framingham. The goal, Lamprey said, is to reduce noise distraction in classrooms where students are engaged in individual digital learning activities on devices such as Chromebooks and iPads.
According to special education teacher Debbie Price who sought the Foundation grant, there were more classroom electronic devices available to students than there were headphones, resulting in noise distractions that could compromise the learning experience.
Thank you to our neighbors for selecting MutualOne Bank as one of their favorite businesses in WickedLocal’s annual reader poll. We are pleased to have been selected as the #1 Community Bank in Framingham, as well as to receive the Silver award for regional favorite, and honorable mention in Natick.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston College and graduated with honors from the America’s Community Bankers’ National School of Banking.

Mark R. Haranas, president and CEO of MutualOne Bank and a trustee of the MutualOne Charitable Foundation, announced today that the Foundation has awarded scholarships in the amount of $5,000 each to four students. They are Ana Asmar, Framingham High School; Sarah Woodlard, Natick High School; Caitlyn Snider, Marian High School; and Erin Dowdy, Joseph P. Keefe Regional Technical School.

Potter, former president, CEO and chairman of the board of directors; and Charles W. Hickson, former president, CEO and board chairman.
