Laura Morales has been approved as an official member of the Westerra Board of Directors and Bill Abbey is returning to the Audit Committee. These changes are in response to the recent passing of longtime Westerra Board Member Ron Walker earlier this summer and a reflection on the dedication of Laura and Bill.
Laura Morales recently retired from a 29-year career teaching math, stats and calculus, in the Cherry Creek school district and at the college level. She has a background in developing financial literacy programs in schools, and involvement in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion work in the district.
One of the unique aspects of credit unions is our cooperative structure—everyone who has an account at the credit union is a member and an owner. There are no stockholders. Profits are returned to members through lower fees, better rates and enhanced services. The Board of Directors is made up of individuals who are members of the credit union. They serve in their roles on behalf of all members. To learn more about Westerra Leadership and our Board of Directors, visit: westerracu.com/about/company/our-leadership.
