I’m a mother to three school aged children and a small business owner. Prior to owning my own businesses, I worked for a major bank for 12 years and worked my way up from a teller position to management. After the birth of my son, I left the bank to work for a credit union specializing in training new employees, which gave me a clear understanding of the difference between banks and credit unions. I am passionate about the credit union movement and the credit union philosophy of “people helping people.” I feel that my background and experience allow me to serve on the Wauna Credit Union Board of Directors, with a well-rounded approach and I would be honored to continue to represent the membership.

Jennifer Teeter, Incumbent, Astoria I have served on the Wauna Board of Directors for seven years and have been elected Finance Officer for six of those years. Wauna has grown substantially, in part due to the successful collaboration between members of the board. I would like to continue to be a part of Wauna’s future successes. I am an Audit Manager for Isler CPA, working from my home in Astoria, auditing local governments and non-profits. Before moving to Astoria/Warrenton in March 2013 I worked out of Isler’s office in Eugene. I look forward to continuing to serve you as a member of your board of directors.
