A Letter from our President and CEO, Mark Hietpas!

As we kick-off February 2021 with these frigid temps outside, we hope that you are staying healthy and warm! We continue to closely monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) numbers in our area. During these uncertain times, our primary focus remains on the safety and well-being of our staff, members and the communities that we serve.

In an effort to keep our staff and members safe, the Board of Directors made the tough decision to hold our 88th Annual Meeting virtually this year. I have been attending the Unison Annual Meeting for 29 years, and this will be a first for me, as we navigate the meeting virtually this year. We hope that you will join us (virtually) on Wednesday, March 10th – you will find registration information below.

Mortgage rates continue to be at historical lows! If you are thinking of refinancing, now is the time. We offer an easy checklist and our Member Advisors can make the process quick, easy and painless! What if we could save you money on a monthly basis….AND cut some years off your loan! Click Here to start the process of saving money today!

Last month, over 250 members participated in our Packer Poll – with over 200 of you thinking that this was the year! I guess next year will be our year! Congratulations to Diane H. for being the lucky winner of a $100 Visa Gift Card.

THANK YOU for your continued membership and trust in Unison!
