2017 PRESIDENT/CEO S MESSAGE A COMMITMENT TO TODAY, AN EYE TOWARD TOMORROW Since 1935, the mission of McGraw-Hill Federal Credit Union has never been clearer help more members live healthier financial lives. The way we empower our members with financial tools and resources has evolved, but the vision of our mission remains unchanged. 2017 proved to be a year of focusing on our core values and determining the best way to translate them to true value for our more than 20,000 members nationwide. Our team re-imagined the future of the credit union while staying vigilant in putting members in the best position to achieve their financial life goals. We achieved a milestone of topping $400 million in assets while remaining a very well-capitalized institution. This ensures the credit union will remain well-positioned for continued success and has the flexibility to give members more of what they ve come to expect from a credit-union-industry leading financial institution. HOW WE HAVE INVESTED IN THE MEMBER EXPERIENCE + Improved mobile app account access and security all while receiving a best-in-class app rating by Apple and Android. + Revolutionized the way we introduce new products and provide greater convenience by making significant investments in our core operating systems. + Increased the value of S 3 Checking Prime by simplifying the relationship with no minimums, just great rates! + Fortified fraud prevention and security by updating all plastic cards with EMV chip technology with security features that safeguard member account information with the latest in plastic protection. + Rewarded member loyalty and activity by enhancing our Prosper Rewards program with cash back and new merchant gift cards awarding more than 11 million points, or $50,000+ in member giveback. LOOKING AHEAD TO 2018 The credit union team constantly looks toward the future and is excited about implementing programs that are completely focused on increasing member value. Over the next 12 months, members will realize this vision and begin to see the positive financial impact of the investments we ve made in their experience. We will not sit idle as the economic landscape continues to shift and member needs evolve. Instead, we will remain forthright in our passion and commitment to helping members live healthier financial lives. As John F. Kennedy once said, Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. We re dedicated to exceeding members expectations we re just evolving to do it better. On behalf of the Board of Directors, employees of McGraw-Hill FCU, and myself, thank you for your continued membership and support. Sincerely, Shawn Gilfedder President/CEO McGraw-Hill Federal Credit Union
