It's really neat when we go to annual meetings, because we're member owned. Our board of directors are volunteers. They don't get paid anything except a piece of pie. Once a month, they get a free piece of pie. And that's it.
Members elect our board.
It's those members who've continued this credit union. Through their efforts and their continued support of this credit union, they've made financial services available to people who wouldn't otherwise be able to get in the door of a financial institution. We try to work with our members whenever possible. But the goal of our founders was to help people stay out of loan sharks' offices. We don't do commercial loans, as such.
