Fitchburg, Massachusetts - Fidelity Bank Vice-President & Home Loan Specialist Linda Hietala was recently awarded the local, mutual community bank’s
“Mission Accomplished” Achievement Award. She is the first recipient of this
brand-new employee award.

“At this Bank, we’re always talking about ‘helping people get where they want
to be,’” Fidelity Bank President Edward F. Manzi, Jr., said. “It’s something we take very seriously, and no one has been better at bringing that idea and that promise to life than Linda Hietala.”

“From her tireless efforts to help her customers get the mortgage that’s just
right for them to her unique & informative voice-mail messages to her extraordinarily effective sales efforts for REALTORS to the fact that she personally baked Finnish bread to give as holiday gifts, Linda Hietala does it all and extraordinarily well,” Ed Manzi continued. “She is the best.”

A long-time Fidelity Bank employee, Linda Hietala has served as Manager of the Gardner Branch and as Marketing Coordinator, currently holding the position of
Vice-President & Home Loan Specialist. She makes her home in Gardner with
her husband, Kasper (Jack) Hietala.
