Why are you interested in serving on the Pathways Financial Credit Union Board of Directors?
Credit unions play a vital, often underutilized, role in supporting communities by providing personalized, local, banking and financial resources. By advancing credit union growth and utilization we can help achieve financial security for the communities we operate in. In my tenure, I have supported Pathways to be the fastest growing credit union in Ohio and 6th fastest nationally. In short, we are making an impact in our communities.
I would be honored to serve for another term on Pathways’ board to continue to advocate for our mission by promoting accessibility through technology, enhancing member education, and introducing innovative services. My focus remains on maximizing value for all members and ensuring Pathways continues to thrive as a trusted financial partner.
