“At Mountain America, service is at the heart of everything we do,” said Sterling Nielsen, president and CEO at Mountain America Credit Union. “Month of Caring reminds us that when we come together to lift others, we strengthen not only our communities but also the shared sense of purpose that defines our credit union.”
The total hours served across the organization will continue to increase through the year’s end. While serving the community is encouraged during Month of Caring, team members aren’t limited to using their hours only in the month of September. This gives teams flexibility and control over when and where they utilize their service hours as well as maintaining adequate staff within branches.
