<p>My parents have financed their home and improvements always using peer-to-peer networks of credit unions. From a young age, this model of banking always has intrigued me due to the &#8220;people helping people&#8221; sort of mindset present in credit unions.  I figured that a becoming involved would allow me to help utilize my skills to further the mission of a small credit union: that is, keep services excellent, provide financial services that members request as times change and most importantly, keep costs low.  I look forward to giving back via this board position or in any other way I can be of service to SCCU and its members.</p>
