Holiday Greeting from President and CEO, Jim Rediger

Date: November 29, 2023

To our valued members,

This year is a testament to the powerful impact we can have as a community. On October 3, 2023, Westoba marked a momentous milestone as we celebrated our 60th year in our communities. This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our loyal members, employees, and communities.

To show our gratitude, we embarked on a journey of giving back, The Westoba Way. This year, as part of our commitment to our community, Westoba gave away a total of $60,000 through the Westoba Inspire Fund, supporting projects that contribute to community infrastructure. Our team also continued to enrich the lives of those around us by actively participating, donating, and volunteering their time in community activities and events.

2023 has been a transformative year and brought a renewed sense of purpose as we redefined our Purpose, Mission, Vision, and Values. These guiding principles reflect our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of our members and communities. They underscore the importance of trust, integrity, innovation, and inclusivity in all member interactions.

In late November, Westoba announced that we started the process of collaborating and exploring the creation of a new credit union with Assiniboine Credit Union and Caisse Financial Group. Throughout this process, it’s very important we hear from you. Please visit CollaborationMB.ca for more information and to provide your feedback. We will continue to consult with all our employees, members, and our community partners to learn more about what you would like to see from your financial services provider in the future.

On behalf of the Westoba team, I wish you and those closest to you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. We look forward to assisting you in achieving your financial goals in 2024 and beyond.

 

Sincerely,

Jim Rediger

President and CEO
