In the spirit of the credit union “member first” motto, supervisory committees ensure fiscal best practices are followed and serve as your member advocate.

Ent’s Supervisory Committee currently includes five volunteers with diverse backgrounds including higher education, nonprofits, sworn civil service and IT. They were purposefully selected for their varied skill sets, unique perspectives and an unhesitating confidence to ask questions.

While their main role is to oversee the audit of Ent’s more than 70 different areas, they also serve as the members’ voice, eyes and ears to ensure your interests are best served. If you have a concern about the overall safety and soundness of the credit union, the supervisory committee is your resource. As warranted, the committee can initiate reviews on your behalf regarding Ent’s policies, operations, compliance, ethics or financial security.

Appointed to three-year terms, each committee member is committed to acting in good faith and with integrity by promoting transparency and placing your interests first. They are Ent members in good standing who are willing and able to attend monthly meetings, and over three years, complete 100 hours of education through classes, seminars and self-learning. One hundred hours is no small task for full-time working individuals, but they do it to give back to their community and fellow members like you.

Along with our conservative fiscal policies, the supervisory committee has helped support the kind of financial performance that earned Ent a #11 national ranking on S & P Global’s “Best-performing credit unions of 2018” list. To contact the supervisory committee, use the ‘Contact Us’ link on Ent.com and include ‘Supervisory Committee’ in the subject of your email or phone message.

Ent's Supervisory Committee: Your Voice, Your AdvocateA New Look For Ent.com

In order to better serve you as we expand, we need an online experience that grows with us. To improve the functionality of our website and create a better user experience for current and prospective members, we’ve redesigned Ent.com.

We want to make your online experience as positive as possible, so this first update is designed to make it easier to find the information you want, while better reflecting who we are. With the new design, you'll begin to experience the same type of real, human “Ent” connection you have with our team members in centers and on the phone. A more intuitive menu and organization will help you find the information you need more easily, and take advantage of our extensive products and services.

This initial January rollout is only the beginning. We recognize that no single Ent member is the same, and we’ve listened to your comments, including the challenges you face with our current site. Throughout 2020, we will continue our work to improve your banking and overall online experience, and we look forward to your input.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the new Ent.com, coming in January 2020!

Ent is deeply committed to giving back to our communities in both our time and dollars. Once again, our team members have demonstrated their personal dedication to improving the lives of others. We’re thrilled to announce that Ent employees raised a record-breaking $241,306 to help families and individuals in need throughout the communities we serve in our 2019 United Way campaign. All funds raised came from voluntary payroll deductions and extensive, employee-led internal fundraising efforts. Our team has raised more than $100,000 a year for United Way over the last 12 years, putting their hearts and energy into serving the communities in which we live and work!

Our Employees Raised More Than $240K for United Way!
