I love North Carolina local government because it's something that's tangible. We're there for people on their best day [and] we're there for people on their worst day. Whenever you go to a park, you can say, hey, we helped build that playground. And we're also there whenever someone calls because they need help. So that's why I love local government. It's neighbors helping neighbors and it's where leaders show up.

I know every banking system is different for everyone, but for Civic, it works for me.

Anything online, it comes easy, because I’m always online doing stuff anyway. It’s very easy, it’s simple. Just read and follow the instructions.

It really is members helping members, and neighbors helping neighbors, communities helping communities.

Civic has been a great credit union to work with. I have a checking, money market, savings account, I’ve got two credit cards, and even had my truck loan.

I’d really like to thank Civic for this scholarship, and giving me the opportunity to go to the University of South Carolina without worrying about the costs.

I love the app. One of the main features I love about the app is when you make a transaction, it gives you an alert.

My husband got an alert on his phone, and it caught his attention because he did not try to make the transaction … (Civic) stopped the transaction, they froze his card and were able to send him a new card.

As a Deputy County Manager, I’ve dedicated my career to responsible stewardship of public resources. That same commitment to accountability and service drives my work as Chair of Civic’s Supervisory Committee. By volunteering, we ensure every member’s voice is heard—and that the credit union’s operations remain transparent, secure, and aligned with our shared community values. I believe that when we bring our expertise and passion for public service to Civic, we help shape a financial future that truly benefits every member.

Volunteering with Civic has given me a voice in shaping the very financial services and products I depend on. It’s more than just oversight—it’s about ensuring every member’s needs are heard and protected. Knowing I’m part of a team that stands up for more than 400,000 fellow members inspires me every day. There’s no better way to truly have a say in your financial future than by lending your time and expertise to help guide the credit union forward.
