Special Note from the CEO

2021 was a milestone year for our members. With the completion of our branch transformation projects, our five locations contributed to originating over $60 million in loans to our members, the most ever in our 96 years.

There have been many changes through the years–technology, products, locations... but the one constant has been the enduring support of our Members. Our Annual Meeting is a way to continue the conversation with our members to help determine how we can improve upon the delivery of products and services. We must listen to our Members in order to learn what your needs are–and I encourage all of our Members to use their voice to help us learn how we can improve what we do for you.

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteer Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee volunteers, and our employees for their hard work and dedication. As a result of your efforts, we continue to deliver a financially strong and vibrant Member-focused organization. We look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting on March 28th!!
