We want to make a positive difference in the lives of our members and community!
Our employees' actions are guided by four values:
- WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE
- We do what we say we are going to do.
- WE WELCOME EVERYONE
- We create a heartfelt sense of belonging for everyone in our community by demonstrating honesty, integrity, and kindness.
- WE ARE BOLD AND WE GO BEYOND
- We think big, always consider the needs of the member, and consistently exceed expectations.
- WE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
- We recognize, appreciate, and empower our most valued assets – YOU!
