Plan now -- and when you need us, we will be there!
The Credit Union is committed to providing continued service during emergency conditions, including the impact of a Boardwide—and Credit Union-wide—flu pandemic. The Board of Directors and Credit Union staff have worked hard to make plans broad enough in scope to cover alternative scenarios, big and small, long-term and short-term. Our plans maintain a degree of flexibility to respond to a variety of scenarios, and they provide for a return to normal operations as quickly as possible.
