MIDLAND, Mich.–Dow Credit Union received the 2024 Partners in Growth Corporate Achievement Award at the 13th Annual Great Lakes Bay Regional Chamber Summit.
This award is presented to exceptional organizations that have made significant contributions to regional growth and community development. It stands as a testament to Dow Credit Union's unwavering commitment to the communities it serves and its ongoing dedication to fostering growth and positive impact in the Great Lakes Bay Region and beyond.
“While member service and credit union success are essential, it's equally important to foster a sense of purpose and meaning in our work,” Michael Goad, president/CEO of Dow Credit Union, said in a statement. “The opening line to our mission statement is that we are going to act as a ‘Multiplier for Good’, and it's not just a line, it's our true belief. Our employees embrace that by getting out in the community and knowing they are making an impact by helping wonderful organizations that are serving our neighbors.”
With a mission to be “Multipliers for Good”, Dow Credit Union said it is committed to serving the region through its dedication to member service, community investments, and support of events like the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, Great Lakes Bay Pride, the Memorial Cup, and projects like the Shine Bright Saginaw Mural Project, as well as its 2023 investment in a new Saginaw Branch.
“It's about more than just having a physical presence in the region, but about how we work within the communities we serve,” said LaShanta Green, director of marketing and community relations of Dow Credit Union. “As a credit union we are known for our Member Giveback, but giving back goes beyond monetary, it’s about giving back to our community and neighbors.”
The Great Lakes Bay Regional Chamber Summit is organized by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce, Midland Business Alliance, and Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce and brings together business leaders, professionals, and community members in the region.
