A Letter From Sandra

Dear Members,

This issue of the Member Magazine highlights stories about Vantage West’s commitment to promoting financial wellness and supporting efforts that create an environment where we all can thrive. Creating a solid financial foundation takes collaboration and a unified desire to fulfill our vision of thriving Members and communities.

As a Member, you are the inspiration that drives us to pursue our vision. As your credit union, we are committed to keeping you informed about opportunities that can help propel your financial plans forward. This magazine is one way we arm you with information and resources that can help you create a successful financial future and protect you from things that can derail your goals.

There are many factors that make up financial wellness, and no two Members are alike. In our featured story, we share three stories of how real Member-Owners leverage their Vantage West Memberships to establish, build upon, and support their unique financial journeys.

In other articles, you’ll learn about a collaborative community initiative helping Southern Arizonans thrive and Phoenix-area rising stars in the growing Arizona startup ecosystem. You’ll also pick up tips about ways to arm yourself against becoming a victim of fraud and savings ideas to help you get ahead. And if you’ve ever wondered about cryptocurrency, we offer a few insights on that topic as well.

We hope you find this magazine informative, relatable, and inspirational. You’ll find that all features have a common theme that aligns with our purpose of Investing in people today to achieve a more prosperous tomorrow and our mission of Igniting collaborative relationships.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. It is our honor and pleasure.

Sincerely,
Sandra Sagehorn-Elliott
President/CEO, Vantage West Credit Union
