Transcript of A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO - LCCUA LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO Trisha Baker “Growth is...
It is exciting to be a part of the rapid
growth Lewis Clark Credit Union has
experienced over the last couple of
years. Our unprecedented progress
couldn’t have been achieved without
YOU, our LCCU team. By LCCU team
I mean all of us, our hard-working
staff, our talented Board of Directors,
our loyal Supervisory Committee,
and our dedicated Members.
Together with our belief in LCCU,
we are outpacing our peers in growth
and building the Credit Union’s net
worth foundation. Our high loan to
share ratio allows us to offer members
higher savings dividend rates and
lower loan interest rates.
Currently, our five branch offices
serve nearly 13,000 members. One
of the key components of our growth
was the successful merger with
Clearwater Credit Union in Lewiston.
This merger increased our financial
strength, enabling us to offer
improved services to all members.
Our focus is your future.
I am honored and humbled to share
that in our recent member survey,
95% of our members stated: “LCCU is
my favorite place to do my banking”.
In addition, nine out of ten members
reported that they are greeted
courteously, we offer the services
they need, and they are proud to
be LCCU members. Providing
convenient, value-oriented, quality
products and services, delivered
with exceptional member service,
continues to be our top priority.
We believe that this commitment
to our membership will continue
to allow us to be our members’
favorite financial institution.
LCCU is actively involved in over
a dozen charitable events and
organizations. Over the last two
years alone, we have donated
nearly $100,000 to local charities,
organizations and community
events. Our philosophy of giving
back makes me feel especially
honored to be a part of the LCCU
family. I have always loved this quote
by Winston Churchill “We make a
living by what we get, but we make
a life by what we give.” At LCCU we
give back not only by helping our
members build a strong financial
future but also through of our com-
mitment to helping our community.
As we transition into a new year,
I would like to say a “Thank You!”
to our amazing staff. Their hard work
providing outstanding service to our
ever-growing membership is
applaudable. I am continually
impressed by their dedication to
serving members and our
community in meaningful ways.
Whether it’s advising a member on
ways to strengthen their credit score,
volunteering for a community
project, or simply performing an act
of kindness, our staff goes above and
beyond each and every day.
I’d also like to recognize and thank
our volunteer Board of Directors and
Supervisory Committee who have
dedicated countless hours to our
Credit Union. It is largely because of
them that LCCU runs smoothly and
positions itself for continued growth.
Lastly, we wouldn’t be LCCU without
YOU, our members. Thank you
for trusting us with your financial
future. We are proud to be your
favorite financial institution.
Together we not only make our
Credit Union a stronger organization,
but we make our community a better
place to live and work!
Kindest regards,
Trisha Baker, President/CEO

It is my pleasure to report
that 2017 was on trend with
2016 and continued to be
a prosperous year for Lewis
Clark Credit Union. The
continued growth we saw
in loans, assets and
membership was a result of
the decisions made by our
dedicated Board of Directors
and the trust granted to us
by our members. The merger
with Clearwater Credit
Union and the opening of
new branch offices proved
to be positive for the
organization and has opened
membership opportunities
to many more throughout
our communities.
I am profoundly proud
of LCCU’s continued
involvement with
community organizations
as well. Our staff, board and
members gave hundreds
of hours of their time
participating in activities
and events that touched
the lives of hundreds of
community members.
Varied organizations from
the Boys & Girls Club to The
Jackson Baldwin Foundation
to the Children’s Miracle
Network were recipients
of time, money and effort
from LCCU volunteers. It’s
heartwarming to see LCCU
take such pride in our
community.
In 2017, the Board of
Directors spent time with
management to plan for the
Credit Union’s future,
and we look forward to
implementing our ideas
which will benefit every
member. I truly appreciate
all the time and effort the
dedicated, volunteer Board
of Directors spend to ensure
the Credit Union continues
to grow, reach our financial
goals and remains a place
where members can go
for solid financial support.
I also want to extend a
special thank you to our
Supervisory Committee for
all of their hard work and
dedication too. Our Credit
Union wouldn’t be strong
without a strong Board of
Directors and Supervisory
Committee - so many
thanks to each and every
one of them!
The dedicated staff at
every one of our branches
deserves a big thank you
as well. They work each day
to make sure our members
receive outstanding service
and are able to reach their
financial goals.
And of course, LCCU
wouldn’t exist without
our members, so thank
YOU for your loyalty and
your continued trust in us!
Sherri Kumm, Chair
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
The Supervisory Committee acts as a steward on behalf
of all Credit Union members and met monthly during
2017. The Supervisory Committee is tasked with
reviewing Credit Union operations, evaluating internal
controls, evaluating the Credit Union’s financial condition,
and making sure all federal and state regulations,
procedures, and policies are properly followed as
defined by the Idaho Department of Finance and the
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
One of the most important functions of the Supervisory
Committee is to oversee an annual audit of the Credit
Union’s financial condition and internal accounting
procedures. The accounting firm of Eide Bailly, Inc. of
Boise, Idaho, completed an annual audit during 2017 and
reported the Credit Union to be in good financial condition
and operating in compliance with state and federal laws.
The Idaho Department of Finance performed a regularly
scheduled safety and soundness examination in April 2017.
It is the opinion of the Supervisory Committee that the
policies established by the Board of Directors contribute
to sound management practices, and Credit Union staff
and management are operating effectively, efficiently
and in a manner consistent with safeguarding the
membership’s interests.
The committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and
is comprised entirely of volunteers from the membership.
If you are interested in serving on the Supervisory
Committee, please contact Trisha Baker.
The Supervisory Committee thanks all members and
others who have devoted time and effort to the success
of Lewis Clark Credit Union. Any member with concerns
about the Credit Union is encouraged to contact anyone
on the Supervisory Committee.

our members. The financial growth and strength of Lewis Clark Credit Union is a testament to the loyalty and support that you,
our members, show us each year. We are positive the Credit Union will remain strong and growing for many years to come with
your continued support.
