FOLSOM,Calif. (PRWEB) June 13, 2022 - Marking a renewed commitment to provide support to its growing membership, SAFE Credit Union announced today that it has named five new members to its Board of Directors.

The new directors have extensive ties to business, finance, higher education, and healthcare in the Greater Sacramento region.

They are UC Davis Center for Regional Change Executive Director Bernadette Austin; former Foster Poultry Farms LLC chief financial officer Don Ball; Chief Operating Officer of MDstaffers Ryan Larkin; finance executive Sonia Lewis; and Senior Vice President and Area Manager for Kaiser Permanente Trish Rodriguez.

The diverse professional backgrounds of the new SAFE board members cements SAFEs goals to further energize its community engagement within the 13 counties in its service area, says Terrance Tremelling, chair of the SAFE Credit Union Board of Directors.

The new directors will bring fresh perspectives and welcome insights from their years of executive-level leadership, says Tremelling. I look forward to working with them as a we position SAFE to be a leading financial institution and influence in the Greater Sacramento region.

SAFE board members serve on a voluntary basis and work with SAFEs executive management to ensure every decision is made with members financial well-being in mind and that SAFE complies with all credit union bylaws and government regulations. Directors lead SAFEs commitment to helping our region thrive.

As we welcome new members, I would like to personally thank those volunteers who are stepping down for their many years of service to SAFEs success, Tremelling said. These outgoing board members have been instrumental in SAFEs recent growth to a $4.5 billion credit union.

Newly appointed directors emeritus are James Jefferson, James Hopp, Herb Long and Phillip A. Meserve. Longtime Board Treasurer Katherine Gaskins also has retired from the board.
