We participated in the Ice Cream Social and Bayside Sounds at Fairlawn Mansion last week! We had 10 volunteers from SCCU that did everything from sell tickets to run the games for kids! We had a SCCU table set up and gave kids glitter tattoos. The kids loved them and we were a huge hit! We had so much fun and enjoyed being in the community on a gorgeous summer night!

So far this year the Branch Managers and I have participated in or organized over 60 community events. Whew… WHO’S ON YOUR TEAM? Just me! Thankfully, the marketing team takes me in. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say this… but I am getting a Community Engagement Coordinator for our southern region on my team soon! GIVE US A BROAD OVERVIEW OF YOUR JOB. I’m responsible for all of our Community Engagement—our branch managers’ monthly events, our involvement in the schools, financial literacy, and our philanthropic efforts in all of our communities!

More often than not I have meetings with people from the community and am gathering up everything for events! HOW DOES YOUR POSITION BENEFIT MEMBERS? EMPLOYEES? WHAT’S ITS PURPOSE? As a credit union, we give our profits back to our employees, members and communities. I am so honored that I get to do all of those things every day!

Coming from the non-profit word, I’m really passionate about making a difference in my community, and this job allows me to do that and more. WHAT’S A QUESTION YOU’D LIKE TO ASK OUR CEO? I’ve had a lot of long car rides with Tim and I’m not good at keeping my thoughts to myself, so I’ve asked him pretty much everything!
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE EVENT YOU’VE DONE WITH SCCU SO FAR? I’ve done so many fun events. I think Core Values fest was my favorite OR East End Family Fun Days. IF YOU HAD AN UNLIMITED BUDGET WHAT WOULD YOU BUY FOR EVENTS? Where do I start? GIANT letters that spell SUPERIOR, a hypnotist, bouncy houses for grown ups, a light up dance floor to make the whole marketing team happy, there are so many things…. WHAT’S YOUR TOP SUMMER BUCKET LIST ITEM? Tube down a river… I’ve never done it! WHAT’S YOUR COOL PARTY TRICK? I’ll make a friend in less than 5 minutes. HOW WOULD YOU SPEND $1 MILLION IN 24HR?
