WEA Credit Union - Newsletters

2009 Summer Newsletter

President's Message

Recently, my wife and I had the opportunity to travel to beautiful Las Cruces, New Mexico, for a short family vacation. In preparation for the trip my wife visited several web sites to find fun and exciting things to do, places to stay, etc. She also looked up shared branches in Las Cruces – where she could download maps, directions, and even GPS coordinates. So what’s a shared branch? A shared branch is a place where WEA CU members can go and deposit or withdraw funds from their WEA accounts. With my photo ID and account number I can visit a shared branch and withdraw funds. This is a safer alternative than carrying large amounts of cash when traveling. With over 3700 locations in the US accessing your WEA CU accounts has never been easier.

On May 21, 2009, WEA CU held its 78th annual meeting at the WEAC building in Madison. There was an uncontested race for 3 board seats. The three board members are Michael Stoll, Ryan Madden, and Mallory Keener. The volunteer board consists of 7 members who meet once a month. Some of the important duties of the board include reviewing financial statements, setting policies, and creating a roadmap for WEA CU’s future. If you’d like to become more involved in the credit union please let us know.
