Letter from the President

70 years of growing together

As another season begins, I’m reminded that growth doesn’t always happen in ways we can see right away. Sometimes, it starts with putting down roots, weathering change, and reaching toward what’s next. Across every season, the care we show one another—through kindness, support, and encouragement—keeps us grounded and growing together.

This sentiment feels even more meaningful as we celebrate Canopy Credit Union’s 70th anniversary this year.

For seven decades, we’ve walked alongside generations of members on their financial journeys, from celebrating milestones to navigating change. Watching our members’ life stories unfold has been our highest honor since we opened our doors in 1956.

What began as a small credit union run by volunteers has changed over the years, but one thing has remained constant: our belief that when people have the opportunity to grow, our whole community grows with them. Together, we can create a positive impact that spans generations.

Our 70th anniversary isn’t just a celebration of how far we’ve come. It’s a reflection of the people who brought us here.

It’s the members who have trusted us with everything from their first savings account and early financial milestones to their next big dreams.

It’s the employees who have spent their careers serving those members.

It’s our community partners, who remind us that financial well-being is about so much more than numbers in an account.

It’s you—the heart of Canopy Credit Union.

Thank you for allowing Canopy to be part of your journey for the past 70 years. We’re incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us, and we’re even more excited about the stories we’ll write together in the years to come.

Here’s to 70 years of growing together—and to everything still ahead.
