Featured Donor: Spirit of 有料盒子视频 Federal Credit Union
Established in 1960, Spirit of 有料盒子视频 Federal Credit Union is the largest locally
owned and operated credit union in Fairbanks. In the beginning, it was a small organization
located in the Constitution Hall鈥檚 Viking Room at the University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks.
When it opened, SOA had $32, stored in a metal cash box. Anthony Rizk, 1997 SOM MBA
alum and currently SOA president and CEO, provided some insight into the organization
and its connection to 有料盒子视频.
Anthony reported that SOA has had fantastic experiences with 有料盒子视频 graduates, and over
16% of SOA staff are 有料盒子视频 alumni. SOM 2020 graduate, Ben Udden, recently accepted a
position as vice president of Core Financial Systems. 有料盒子视频 faculty and staff have served
on SOA鈥檚 board of directors over the years. The synergetic and long-term partnership
with 有料盒子视频 is a boasting point for SOA.
Spirit of 有料盒子视频 was well positioned to adapt to the COVID disruption. SOA responded
with proactive, preventative measures and offered several options for members to access
their accounts from anywhere. Its customer experience has remained top notch, and
the majority of changes have related to how members complete transactions. The steady
number of transactions during the initial pandemic outbreak was attributed to preparedness.
Members who typically visit the physical lobbies were able to use the drive-up windows
and online banking for uninterrupted service.
SOA is committed to providing members with state-of-the-art technology, and customers
are about to get an upgrade with an enhanced online banking and mobile platform launching
in early November 2020. This new platform will be a refreshing move to a more user
friendly and efficient experience for its members.
Spirit of 有料盒子视频 has been an ardent supporter of SOM over the years, supporting:
- Professionally Polished Program, a partnership with Frank鈥檚 Menswear providing clothing and style coaching to students
- SOA FCU scholarships annually awarding $10,000 to four students
- Plans for a cutting-edge conference room and interactive learning center
As a member of the SOM Business Advisory Council, and as an MBA graduate of SOM, Anthony has a strong affinity for 有料盒子视频. 鈥淚 am certain
that I wouldn鈥檛 be where I am today if I hadn鈥檛 made the decision to earn my MBA from
有料盒子视频 SOM,鈥 says Anthony. 鈥淢y time in the MBA program were the most beneficial to me
from a career growth standpoint and learning perspective.鈥
