Someone you know is better off thanks to Terri Wilson, who retires in January as STCU's vice president-operations.
Maybe it's a child participating in Upward Sports. Terri served on the steering committee that brought the program to Spokane Valley. For eight years, she gave up Saturdays in January and February to assist with food service for the program.
Maybe it's someone helped by Spokane Valley Partners. For more than 10 years, Terri served on the board for the community center and food bank. Maybe it's someone who attends Whitworth University. Terri is past-president of the university foundation, helping build an endowment that benefits every student.STCU had one branch, about 10,000 members and a couple dozen employees when Terri came to work here in 1981. We'll open our 15th branch before Terri retires, and now serve more than 96,000 members.
While a lot of people played a role in that growth, every STCU member will benefit from Terri's influence for years to come. She's recognized as a credit union leader nationwide and received the 2010 Power Woman of the Year Award from the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce. Thank you, Terri, for more than 30 years of service to STCU members, your colleagues and your community. We've been touched by your graciousness and learned from your example.
