Credit Union of Ohio
Board of Directors Election

I have had the privilege of serving as a Director of the Credit Union of Ohio for the past eleven years and as a member for fifteen years. During this time, I have worked to uphold and advance the credit union's core principles of Partnership, Reliability, Integrity, Dedication, and Excellence. My goal in seeking re-election is to continue contributing to these values while helping strengthen and grow the organization that serves our community.

My educational background includes an undergraduate degree in Accounting and Business Administration and a Master's degree in Business. Professionally, I serve as a Lead in Investment Applications with the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). These experiences allow me to bring a unique perspective to the board, combining financial expertise with strategic insight. My accounting foundation provides a strong understanding of financial and operational issues, while my current role equips me to recommend process improvements and best practices that enhance efficiency and member experience.

I am passionate about ensuring that the Credit Union of Ohio remains a trusted, member-focused institution. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue serving as a board member and contributing to its ongoing success.

I am seeking re-election to serve on the Board of Directors, of the Credit Union of Ohio. I have been a loyal member of this Credit Union for 46 years, and was a Volunteer Auditor for the Credit Union when I first became a member, and also have been a dedicated Director on this Board for 30 years.

I have an Associate's Degree in Accounting from Columbus State Community College, and I continue to update my financial education with classes sponsored through the Credit Union.

In my early working career, I worked as a Bookkeeper/Supervisor for the State Savings & Loan Financial Institution, accounting for, and processing daily transactions for our customers.

I worked 30 years in public service, for the Ohio Public Defender Commission, in the Fiscal Department, paying most of the office expenses, and processing revenue payments daily. Also, I worked closely with State Examiners during my office's annual department audits.

I enjoy working in finance, and in public service. I am retired now, so my time is free to commit to serve the Credit Union of Ohio members by helping direct the credit union management team. Together we can bring up-to-date financial products and services to help with member's daily, financial needs.

I love the credit union, "Member Owned Philosophy" and encourage all members to use the many financial services offered at the credit union to help make your money work as hard for you as you work for it. Thank you for your vote.
