ANNUAL MEETING
Why You Should Come to the Annual Meeting on Monday, June 23, 2025, at 5 PM
We know how busy life gets. Between work, family, and just trying to keep up, it might be tempting to pass up the credit union’s annual meeting. But we’d love for you to pause for just a second—because this isn’t just another meeting.
It’s your meeting.
And here’s why we think you should be there:
You have a voice. Let’s use it.
At big banks, decisions happen behind closed doors. But your credit union is different. We’re member-owned, which means your opinion matters here. At the annual meeting, you get to vote for the people who represent you on our Board of Directors (see below).
Get the inside scoop.
Want to know what your credit union has been up to? Where are we headed next? The annual meeting is where we lay it all out—our progress, our plans, and how we’re continuing to grow with you in mind. You’ll leave knowing exactly how your credit union is working to serve you better.
It’s not all business.
Yes, we’ll talk about finances and future goals. But there’s also food, giveaways, and good conversation. We celebrate our wins together.
Ask questions. Get answers.
Have a suggestion? Curious about a policy? Wondering about a new service? This is your space to speak up and be heard, face-to-face with the people making the decisions.
It’s a chance to connect.
We’re more than a financial institution—we’re a community. And when members like you show up, it strengthens everything we stand for. Your presence reminds us that behind every savings account or auto loan, there’s a real story, a real family, a real journey.
So please, join us.
