3rd Quarter 2008 Message from the President
Welcome to summer!
We’ve had a great year so far. The year started off with a great event at Ray’s Boat House in February. Our speaker was Lydia Johnson, formerly of Vancity Credit Union in Vancouver BC and Filene’s i3 group. She spoke on Green Banking and community marketing. The feedback we received from this event was tremendous. We followed this event with a great event that focused on Recruiting and Employee Retention. Mike Humphries from Waldron and Company was our speaker for this event, which was held at the Bellevue Red Lion. This was another great event, which brought a lot of new attendee’s to our chapter event.
On July 10th, the King County Chapter of Credit Unions and Pierce County Chapter of Credit Unions partnered once again, for our second annual Golf Tournament. This great golf tournament saw another great day for golf. This year there were 144 golfers, representing the credit unions we support and or business partners. A special thank you goes out to the twenty-one credit unions that participated in this year’s tournament; you are the reason that we hold this tournament every year. I also want to thank the thirty-two business partners that helped make this event happen. With a special thank you going to CO-OP Financial Services as our presenting sponsor. This year proceeds of the golf tournament are going in part to support Children’s Miracle Network and Junior Achievement. I am happy to say that with your support we raised more then $16,000.
What’s to come? This fall the King County Chapter of Credit Unions is working on a very special speaker. This is an event that I’m truly excited for. We will be posting more information on this event by the first of September.
Please check back with http://www.kcccu.com for updates on our upcoming events and keep an eye out for our event save the dates.
Your support of the King County Chapter of Credit Unions is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lee Harris
Chapter President
