2025 Best Places to Work – WECU Finalist

2025 Best Places to Work – WECU Finalist

This past week, the Wichita Business Journal hosted it’s Best Places to Work luncheon.

Hundreds of businesses, not just financial institutions, were nominated.  Nominated businesses were contacted and feedback was gathered from employees of those businesses by an independent consulting group.  The top businesses were narrowed down to a group of finalists.  We are thrilled and excited to announce that White Eagle CU finished as #6 in the medium size business category of Best Places to Work in the Wichita area!

This recognition means so much to White Eagle CU as the results are completely based on employee feedback.

President and CEO, Eric Brown, had this to say about receiving the award: “This is quite an honor. We strive to provide an environment that energizes others, that inspires a collective process and creates trustworthy relationships. We also understand that the service we provide to our members can not be any better than the service we give each other. We are a family.  As a family, we know more and can do more together than anyone can individually.” Eric went on to say, “We spend more waking hours with our teammates than we do our own family and friends. So, we need to support each other, be there for each other and have fun at the same time.”

Giving back to our communities

We continued giving back to our communities on Monday, May 22, 2023 with a check was presented to CPRF – Community Mobility Fund located in Wichita, KS.

CPRF has a long history of providing wheelchair and posture seating services and assistive technology equipment to Kansans of all ages with various disabilities. CPRF serves over 800 clients annually throughout the state with approximately 55% residing outside of Sedgwick County, creating an annual shortfall exceeding $250,000.

To address this issue, CPRF has established an endowed CPRF Community Mobility Fund (Mobility Fund) with six community foundations across the state, which are restricted to services for clients with disabilities who reside in the counties supported by each community foundation. One of the community foundations where CPRF has established a Mobility Fund is the Central Kansas Community Foundation (CKCF).  The CKCF catchment area includes Butler, Harvey, Wilson, Marion and Elk counties.

This donation will be directed towards the Mobility Fund with the CKCF. This will help CPRF clients who live in Augusta, El Dorado, and Newton areas. To learn more about CPRF visit: https://www.cprf.org/

Thanksgiving and Gratitude

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F Kennedy

Thanksgiving and Gratitude for our members and the communities we serve.

This is the time of year that we take time to acknowledge the things that we are thankful for.  Things like family, friends, health, and also the things we take for granted.  With the current pandemic that we are going through we pray for those that feel isolated and lonely.  We encourage you to reach out to someone you know that is in this position.

Also, we want to thank our members and our communities for allowing us to serve you.  We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.  Stay safe and stay healthy.

Best regards, Rick Blue – President
