When considering new programs or products, Reedy's first question is always, "How does this benefit or affect our members?" He strives to keep our loan rates low and savings rates as some of the highest in our market. He is known for making sure members come first while maintaining a sound financial institution.
Reedy continually encourages staff to be involved in the community and the local credit union chapter. Over the past year, OCCU has poured more than $75,000 into the surrounding communities through fundraisers, sponsorships and donations.

unions are to their local communities.
