At our core we’re a people-first organization, we recognize our people as our superpower, from each of our member-owners to each of our internal-owners. We look to add value to our members’ lives and support our internal-owners to do the best work they can each day, and in 2023 that was no exception.

Thank you for allowing us to be your partner and giving us the opportunity to exemplify Northern’s and the credit union industry’s philosophy of “people helping people.” We look to add value to our members’ lives and support our internal-owners to do the best work they can each day.
