B.S. and MBA degrees and will use my experience to best
represent you. "It's a privilege to serve our members'
interests. I would be honored by your vote!" |

I bring a strong educational and leadership background
to APGFCU, having worked as a college professor and
administrator. I have volunteered with APGFCU for
the past five years and have served as director and as
associate director. I currently serve as vice chair of the
board of directors and chair of the Human Resources
Committee. I would be honored to assist APGFCU in
improving member experience and expanding financial
education opportunities for the community. |

| Emanuel C. Hatton |

Having worked on various APGFCU committees for 11 years,
I am convinced the credit union movement represents
an excellent alternative banking source for people other
financial institutions may not work with. That's how credit
unions began. I have B.S. and MBA degrees, served as a
combat arms soldier for 21 years, government civilian for 22
years, and government contractor for five years. I want to
serve the underserved community. |
