Irondale, Ala. (Nov. 29, 2012) –Starting the week of Thanksgiving, new President/CEO of the $3 billion Corporate America Credit Union Pete Pritts didn’t waste any time during his first week on the job. Pritts’ first day was filled with meetings with employees, attending a chapter meeting as the guest speaker and meeting some of Corporate America’s long time members in North Alabama.“Making sure we provide value for our members is our number one goal,” he said.
Pritts is also learning his way around. “I’ve managed to memorize my new phone number here in Alabama,” he said, laughing. “The Southern hospitality has been overwhelming. Everyone here has been so friendly and welcoming. It’s been a great first week.”
Pritts says he’s extremely grateful for the opportunity to join the solid team at Corporate America and looks forward to sitting down with more members in the coming weeks. He is already planning to attend several other Chapter meetings hoping to get to know more and more people from credit unions Corporate America serves.
“We have loyal and dedicated people here,” Pritts said. “It’s obvious to me our staff cares very much about our membership and I want that to continue as we move forward.”
