Our members are busy...I see that every day. In our credit union, we are particularly aware that time is money. That’s why we provide value to our members with our many free services with convenience in mind. It’s our goal to save you money and time.

It was a pleasure meeting personally with many of our members at the Goldenwest Annual Meeting last month. During the meeting, Chairman Bill Hart announced that Stoney Wayment and Tony Reynolds were re-elected to the Board of Directors. We congratulate Stoney and Tony, and thank all of our board members for their service.

At credit unions, we refer to our patrons as members…not customers. You may ask “What’s the difference?”

It’s that time of year when I’m preparing to run the Annual Goldenwest 5K For Schools. Every spring I join with thousands of other parents, teachers and volunteers to raise money for local schools by participating in the 5K. It’s a thrill to see people of all ages in our community come together to support public education. Not to mention, this annual event is great motivator for me to stay in-shape.

Each January I start off the new year by setting goals for the next 12 months. I set goals in several categories…areas where I want to improve and progress.

December is a month with an added focus on giving and receiving. The spirit of the season is much like the credit union philosophy of people helping people. As a not-for-profit cooperative, we provide resources and tools that allow families and small businesses to reach their financial goals.
