Meet Board Member, Joe Abdelkader💙
Joe is a lifelong Muskegon resident who grew up in the Lakeside community. He joined Lakeshore Federal Credit Union in 2025 and was excited for the opportunity to serve on the Board and contribute to an organization committed to growing and thriving.
Joe is a graduate of Muskegon High School and Michigan State University, with additional studies at Muskegon Community College. He spent 35 years as an educator with Reeths-Puffer School District, where he dedicated his career to serving students and families in the community.
Joe’s connection to the credit union is also personal, as he serves alongside his brother, Board President Faisel Abdelkader. He values the opportunity to be part of an organization focused on helping members and strengthening the community he has called home throughout his life.
Joe and his wife, Sheryl, are proud parents of their son, Justin, and daughter, Jamie. Family is at the heart of Joe’s life, and hockey has been a major part of their family’s story for more than 35 years. His son Justin represented the area through Michigan State University and the Detroit Red Wings organization.
Today, Joe and Sheryl enjoy following their four grandsons as they play hockey throughout the state.
We are proud to have Joe serving on the Lakeshore Federal Credit Union Board and appreciate the experience, community connection, and dedication he brings to our team!
