We asked Alyssa to tell us what value she sees in the “people helping people” philosophy we have at the credit union. She wrote, “The credit union knows their members. They listen to the suggestions, requests or the needs of the members and use profits to provide products and services that their members need or wish to have.”

This is 100% true and what makes credit unions different. Our focus is not on the bottom line, but on who we serve. We commend Alyssa on her impressive accomplishments and can’t wait to see what her exciting future brings!
