We would like to thank our Sponsor - Vantage Point Federal Credit Union.

Liz Speight, President, has spent over 22 years in the credit union movement. What began as a career has grown into a true passion. Liz loves working for a smaller credit union because of the family feel—both among staff and with members. That close-knit environment allows her and her team to meet people where they are, often taking extra time to help members understand how credit works and how to build a stronger financial future.

Liz is passionate about leading a team that truly enjoys coming to work each day.
