Jaden Schmidt
Marketing Intern
CEO approved!

Who you report again?
Jaden makes nominating someone for TMM easy. Jaden is our marketing intern, but you’d never know it with how much work he takes on and how many departments he works in. J’s got the kind of personality that makes being at work truly pleasurable. He is always smiling and positive, and says yes to anything that helps our our little credit union keep moving forward. Thank you for everything you do Jaden, I don’t think you get to hear it enough!

Dawne Davis &
Digital Solutions Manager
Who do report to again?
In a true team effort display, Dawne voluntarily cut her PTO short by 2 days to jump in and help collections catch up. She graciously put in extra hours and effort despite it being outside her job description. Dawne dares to care about other departments and the organization overall. We are lucky to have such a selfless soul on our team!
