WORCESTER—Sheila King-Goodwin, a Worcester resident and chief community banking officer at Fidelity Bank, has been named a 2025 Northeast Woman in Banking and Mortgage by New England Women in Banking. She received the award at the New England Women in Banking Conference earlier this year at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
The award recognizes women leaders in banking who have not only advanced in their careers but have also made an impact in their communities.
“At Fidelity Bank, we realize a great client experience is made possible by our incredible colleagues who make financial success more accessible,” said Joseph Silva, Fidelity Bank president, in the bank’s announcement. “Sheila embodies our LifeDesign promise of caring for our clients and providing the clarity and confidence to support families and businesses, foster generational wealth, and drive sustainable economic growth by building stronger communities.”
Beyond her work in banking, King-Goodwin is deeply involved in Worcester and North Central Massachusetts. She serves on several boards, including Fitchburg State University, the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts, and the United Way of Central Massachusetts Women’s Initiative. She is also a member of Yes We Care, a program that provides financial literacy and career development for high school girls.
King-Goodwin holds a master’s in business administration from Assumption University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina. She is also a graduate of the Stonier National School of Banking.
