2017 WAS A 'STANDOUT YEAR'
Assets Top $1 Billion Mark, Earnings and Lending Show Continued Growth
Brian A. Orenstein, Charter Oak’s President and Chief Executive Officer, told members attending the credit union’s 79th Annual Meeting that 2017 “was a great one for Charter Oak – a truly standout year in so many ways.”
“We’ve gone from a tiny credit union that began with $250 in a shoebox in the shipyard at Electric Boat to a billion dollar credit union,” he told more than 240 members attending the April 19th Annual Meeting at the Groton Inn & Suites. “That is a remarkable achievement that we all should be very proud of.”
In other Annual Meeting news, Charter Oak members re-elected Guy Henry and Annette Janovic to new three-year terms on Charter Oak’s seven-member Board of Directors. Members also re-elected Wayne Burgess to a new one-year term on the Board of Directors.
