Robert P. Lamprey, CEO of Framingham Co-operative Bank, announced today that Michael Semizoglou has joined the Bank’s commercial lending team as an assistant vice president.

Semizoglou joins the bank from Metro Credit Union, where he was an assistant vice president and commercial services officer. Previously, he served as business development and sales manager and assistant vice president with TD Banknorth, where he was a President’s Award nominee.

A Brighton resident, he is currently continuing his education at Boston’s Emmanuel College and will earn the bachelor of science degree upon completion of his studies in December.  

Semizoglou is a member of the Board of Directors and treasurer of Washington Gateway, a Boston Main Street Program dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of a 1.4 mile district in Boston’s South End/Lower Roxbury neighborhood. The Washington Gateway program — a partnership of volunteers, neighborhood organizations, real estate developers, government and businesses, has brought new businesses, storefront improvements, residential and commercial developments, preservation projects and rejuvenated open space to the community since its work began in 1997.
