Pisa and Compass FCU Manager, Jennifer Rupert, then addressed the state of the credit union to all members on hand for the meeting before fielding any questions from membership.
Pisa and Rupert each reflected on the fantastic work being done by the Compass staff in continuing to offer superior customer service and new programs for members.
“We’re pleased to see the continued growth of the credit union, which is due in large part to the great work being done by our dedicated staff and Board,” said Rupert. “We appreciate the support of our more than 7,700 members and look forward to what is to come in the future.”
