RIVERFALL CREDIT UNION

63rd ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGMarch 1, 2016

Initiated in this area in 1985, the Adopt-A-School program is an effective grassroots partnership between education and the business and private sectors of Tuscaloosa County. The purpose of the program is to utilize the vast amounts of human resources and talents of the business community to strengthen, enhance, and enrich the quality of education in each of the public schools of the Tuscaloosa City and Tuscaloosa County School systems.

Adopt-A-School strengthens and improves our schools, creates a climate of involvement and interaction between businesses and schools and involves the community in pre-paring for its own economic future. RiverFall Credit Union proudly adopted Maxwell Elementary School in 2015. This partnership is a key component of our Community Reinvestment Plan and serves as an important symbol of our continued commitment and support of Tuscaloosa area schools and the communities we serve.

RiverFall Credit Union provides its members with sound financial services and solid credit union operations. Total assets for 2015 were $117,675,804. Shares for 2015 were $102,378,272. While both of these year-end totals decreased slightly from 2014, RiverFall continues to hold a strong financial position.

For the year 2015, RiverFall Credit Union made 12,047 loans to members. These loans totaled $15,527,811. This represented a 4.2% increase from the previous year. This loan growth is directly attributed to the commitment of RiverFall’s leader-ship to provide competitive rates to our members. Additionally, RiverFall returned to its members in the form of dividends over $733,000.

These numbers reflect RiverFall Credit Union’s sound financial standing. Significant and exciting progress was made in 2015 in facilities, branding, member services, and financial products and services. Next steps include focused planning efforts leading to development of a strategic plan to guide our credit union throughout 2016 and beyond. Your board is committed to ensuring that RiverFall continues to maintain stable and secure financial practices while seeking forward thinking ap-proaches to improvement and innovation. The board, along with the administra-tion, are striving to design operating procedures for all aspects of the credit union that mirror the new name, the new look, and a new attitude for RiverFall. We are pleased with the improvements to-date and look forward to working together to continue building a credit union that is focused on member services, relationships, and progress.

TREASURER’S REPORT

The Supervisory Committee of a credit union is created by law to act as the mem-bers’ representative in monitoring and guiding operations of the credit union, and is similar to an in-house audit committee found in many financial institutions. I have proudly served as chairman of the Committee this past year. Serving with me are Jennifer Box and Deron Cameron.

Responsibilities of the Committee include making sure the credit union has internal controls in place to protect credit union assets. During 2015, as in years past, we engaged the auditing firm Nearman, Maynard, Vallez, CPAs (NMV). This firm was selected from among several that were considered based on its principles, pricing, and references. It was formed in 1979 and has been serving only credit unions for more than 30 years.

NMV conducted three audits: (1) Certified Audit for the period October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015; (2) ACh (Automated Clearing house) Compliance Review; (3) OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) & BSA (Bank Secrecy Act) Compliance Review.

In addition to the annual, outsourced audits performed by NMV, the Supervisory Committee has also enlisted the assistance of, and delegated authority to, select credit union staff to perform various internal audit tasks on a periodic, ongoing basis. Some of these include random counts of teller drawers and vaults, review of account maintenance changes, and transaction verifications with members.

Adherence to regulations by RiverFall Credit Union is monitored, and the credit union remains sound and in compliance.

ChAIRMAN’S REPORT

hopefully during the past year you’ve become familiar with the phrase, “Find Your Pace.” Our use is not merely as a marketing element, even though we do try to in-corporate it consistently in various publications and communications. Much more than just a slogan, it is the commitment and ultimate objective of RiverFall Credit Union to provide the products and services you want and to do so in the manner you want them.

You likely see and hear advertising of this nature constantly, from many sources. Virtually all businesses claim to be dedicated to their customers/members and it is not our intention to critique others’ motivations or how successfully they follow through on promises. But RiverFall’s fulfillment of the pledge is tangible in a num-ber of forms, such as:

• In-office service via personal assistance and automated teller machine

• Drive-up service via personal assistance and automated teller machine

• Telephone service via personal assistance and automated audio response

• Electronic/remote service via website, home banking, and mobile

The principle behind everything RiverFall has worked toward through the transition is simple in concept but challenging to accomplish. It is to be accommodating. To offer you choices. To allow you to select how you prefer to be served. To em-power you to decide how you want to bank. Simply, to enable you to “Find Your Pace.” We have tried, and will continue, to provide alternatives and let you pick a personal favorite rather than dictating or limiting your options to the methods best for RiverFall.

This accommodative, something-for-everyone philosophy is contrary to the present day theory that a business must have one thing to ‘be the best,’ or that a business must target one thing to work at to ‘be the best.’ While it does sound impressive to ‘be the best’ at something, the reality is that West Alabama consists of almost 300,000 people. We are not presumptuous to determine what is best for all but instead want to ‘be the best’ we can at providing for all of you, for all of West Alabama.

We hope you find RiverFall’s approach refreshing. More importantly, we hope you find it practical and helpful for you to “Find Your Pace.”
