Sany Saikaly ‘92 Say-nee Say-klee 2014 Westminster College Alumni Citation Winner Investments. For our next awardee, Sany Saikaly, this word takes on many meanings. First, investments of one’s money or financial security is likely what most of you thought of when I mentioned the word. Sany has spent his professional career in the field of protecting individual’s investments. In 1992 he assumed the role of customer service specialist in the Credit Card Research Department of PNC Bank; and after several positions moving up the industry’s ladder, he has accumulated nearly 20 years of fraud and investigative experience. Now, in 2014, he serves as a Due Diligence Specialist in the PNC Bank Anti-Money Laundering and Investigations Department. He is quite literally: protecting your investments! A 1992 graduate from Westminster College, Sany received his bachelor of arts degree in telecommunications and displayed his own investments in the form of time. He was an active student on campus, serving as Senior Class President, a radio DJ, member of the production staff for the TV station, and a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon. As an alumnus, Sany has continued to show his dedication to his alma mater and served on the Alumni Council from 1992-1996, as well as a Reunion Committee member and coordinator. An investment of a third kind can also be associated with Sany-his investment in his church and community. As a twelve year volunteer fireman at his local Ingomar fire station, he displays dedication to his fellow community members’ and their families through personal protection. Moreover, Sany’s very active
thirteen year role in his Glenshaw Presbyterian Church as a Junior High Youth Group Leader and member of their board is the perfect book end to a man that spends his life protecting and creating investments. Sany resides in Wexford with his wife, Stephanie, and their son, Thomas. Previous to receiving tonight’s award, Sany has been the two-time recipient of the “Pittsburgh’s Financial Crimes Investigator of the Year” award. Tonight, As a result of a nomination by Barbara Guffey, I am happy to present this year’s 2014 Westminster Alumni Citation Award to Sany Saikaly.
