The Ten Commandments of Brewery Credit Union
THE MEMBER is the most important person in our credit union.
THE MEMBER is not an outsider-he or she is the owner of our credit union.
THE MEMBER is not an interruption of our work-they are the purpose of it.
THE MEMBER does us a favor when they call--we are not doing the member a favor when we serve them.
THE MEMBER is not a cold statistic-they are human beings with feelings and emotions like our own.
THE MEMBER is not someone to argue or match wits with.
THE MEMBER is a person who brings us their needs. It is our job to fill those needs.
THE MEMBER is deserving of the most courteous and attentive treatment we can give.
THE MEMBER is not dependent on us--we are dependent on them.
THE MEMBER is the life blood of this credit union.
