As the days grow warmer, I find myself reflecting on change—how exciting it is and how much growth occurs over time. I am fortunate to have a beautiful view of the Spokane River right out my office window, and as the river swells with runoff from the mountains, I marvel that the river’s course doesn’t falter. Its path through our city and the place it holds in the heart of our community is constant.
Just as the river remains steadfast, the team at Canopy is also steadfast in our commitment to our members, even during times of transition and uncertainty. We proved this to be true when we changed our name to Canopy Credit Union in 2019. At that time, some members asked why we sought to “redefine” our institution. I understood this sentiment, and I found it easy to explain the shift to “Canopy” brings us closer to our unwavering mission as a credit union committed to growing a happier and healthier community through financial inclusion. Like the canopy of the forest blankets the northwest, we welcome all inhabitants sheltered beneath our branches. We honor the thousands of paths lining the forest floor, knowing each journey is a story that matters.
Canopy’s roots remain strong. Whether you’ve been a member with us for fifty years or opened your first account five days ago, we are a place where everyone’s story is heard, no matter how much time has passed.
