Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you’ve made so many friends at work and appreciate the benefits we offer. Those are both qualities of the strong and positive culture we’ve cultivated and that our CEO has had such an instrumental hand in throughout his long career here. We don’t think about promoting greater racial equity as being on any particular side of the political spectrum. It’s true that that we’re taking a more active stance to support employees, members and the community in achieving financial equity and improving access to financial services. We believe this is both intrinsic to our values and necessary as a people-centered credit union. What hasn’t changed is our dedication to members’ financial well-being, making their lives easier and our communities stronger. We feel equity and inclusion is critically tied to making these things happen. Employees bring a range of experiences, backgrounds, philosophies and values with them when they come to work. That makes us a stronger organization. One thing we’ll not waver on, however, is our commitment to building a larger table where everyone has a feeling of belonging and the opportunity to thrive. It enhances our culture, not diminishes it. We hope you’ll keep an open mind to the work even when it’s challenging, and continue to grow and learn with the organization.
