Team Member of the Month Table of Contents

MES I

Kamron Pittman

Kamron’s member service is, without a doubt, unforgettable.

Everyone of our team members gives AWESOME member service but Kamron really goes out of her way to make the member feel welcomed and special. Kamron engages the members, learns something new about the member, keeps the member positive (along with her fellow team members), and she sees financial opportunities and talks to the member about the opportunity, As a MES I, she is the face of the credit union and she does SCCU proud. The Tower branch is ever changing due to construction but Kamron keeps our members happy with her contagious laughter and positivity. She receives compliments regularly from our members and she is well deserving of an employee of the month.
