Message from the Chairman of Rock Island Credit Union

Dear Fellow Members,

I am pleased to share some important and encouraging news with you. Your Board of Directors has been carefully considering the best path forward to ensure that Rock Island Credit Union continues to provide you with the exceptional service and care you deserve.

In light of our CEO’s recent departure and after a thorough review of our operations, we have taken the proactive step of temporarily engaging the leadership team from WEOKIE Federal Credit Union, under the guidance of their CEO, Jeff Carpenter to assist in the management of our credit
union. The WEOKIE team is working closely with our dedicated staff to maintain stability and uphold the high standards of service you expect from us.

This collaboration has also led to promising discussions about a potential consolidation between WEOKIE Federal Credit Union and Rock Island Credit Union. Should the Board decide to move fully informed as more details become available. WEOKIE Federal Credit Union has earned a place on the Forbes Best Credit Union list for four consecutive years, a testament to their commitment to excellence-a commitment that aligns perfectly with our own values and mission.

As we navigate these changes together, I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or thoughts you may have. Your engagement and input are vital as we continue to build a bright future for Rock Island Credit Union.

For now, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (Chairman@rockislandeu.com) or Jeff Carpenter (jeffc@weokie.org) with any questions or feedback. And thank you for being a loyal member of our credit union.

Bob McCray, Chairman
Rock Island Credit Union
