Visit us at www.vitalresearchsurveys.com/partners to complete a short survey and tell us how we can help you achieve financial success. Welcome to the New Year, and to the premier issue of Partners! Magazine. The past several months have seen many significant and positive changes at your Credit Union, many of which are results from the recent Vista/Partners merger. If you’re a legacy Partners Member (one of the 40,000 people who belonged to Partners before the merger), then I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m John Janclaes, Partners Federal Credit Union’s new President/CEO, and I’m honored to be leading such a significant, dynamic and vital organization. As a legacy Partners Member, this may be the first quarterly magazine you’ve received from your Credit Union. Partners! Magazine, which replaces the Partners Onstage newsletter, is designed to serve as a useful information source from your trusted financial service provider. Of course, if you’re one of the more than 60,000 Members who came from Vista Federal Credit Union, you probably recall Vista! Magazine, which was regularly mailed to your home. The new Partners! Magazine replaces that publication, with an appropriate new name. Clearly, the merger has been a major topic of conversation over the past several months, and it’s easy to see why. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes developing an infrastructure that supports our ability to offer our Members the best possible benefits. In fact, this year alone we will return more than $3 million to our Members in the form of improved rates and fees, and we will continue developing programs and offerings that maximize value, service and convenience — all for the benefit of our membership.

We’re frequently being rated “best in class” when compared to other financial institutions. This is especially meaningful as our mandate has been to develop a larger, merged institution while minimally affecting the people we serve — our valued Members. So thank you for your continued interest in Partners, and for supporting our efforts to develop an even greater Credit Union. After all, you’re the reason why we make every advance. I hope you enjoy the magazine.
