Candidate Statement

“I believe that every organization that is made up by members… should have people willing and waiting – over time – to serve that organization in some capacity. I want to give back to the CU and use my administrative and fiscal experiences to add real value to the organization. All of our family accounts are there, we got our house mortgage from the CU and the experiences have been wonderful. I work with Federal and State regulations everyday in my current position and know that I can help wade through CU issues with relative ease.”
