SUMMER 2018 With a theme of volunteerism, over 120 members attended the 69th Piedmont Advantage Annual Membership Meeting, held on Tuesday, May 22, at the Maple Chase Country Club in Winston-Salem. One of the things that make your credit union different from other for-profit financial institutions is the group of member volunteers who contribute their time, energy and expertise to our membership – all without financial compensation. With continuous additions and changes to regulations, increased competition and meeting the evolving needs of our members, the job of a volunteer in the credit union gets tougher every day. “Our volunteers have hearts because their vision of our credit union is to enhance the lives of our members and their families by providing caring solutions to make their lives easier. What our volunteers do for us is beyond commendable,” said Judy Tharp, CEO/President Ramon Hoots, Board Director, was honored for his 23 years of service as he retires from the board of directors.
