People helping people
A strong community requires a healthy economy to prosper. People need a safe place to harbor monies and grow wealth. Small businesses, the biggest job creators in the country, often need loans.
Credit unions are a valued alternative in the financial services marketplace. They're not-for-profit financial cooperatives that return earnings to members in ways like better rates on loans and deposits as well as lower fees. Additionally, loans are typically processed locally.
Changing regulatory requirements and customer views on financial services put credit unions under increased pressure. To overcome these challenges, a broader range of expertise around the boardroom table is needed. A knowledgeable, effective, and personable executive rallies everyone in a credit union and helps the entity stand out in a crowded marketplace.
