🎉 Congratulations, Anna, for celebrating your 5-year anniversary with Rivermark! "I started my career with Rivermark about six months before the Pandemic started. I was getting comfortable with my new job, making friends, and then March of 2020 arrived, and everyone was suddenly at home. This was such a strange time with so much uncertainty. Rivermark was absolutely incredible during this time. The support and encouragement we received from management and our very own CEO himself made a huge difference. Rivermark has always felt like family. I’m thankful each day to be able to contribute to the community and support our members."

Jennifer celebrated her 10-year anniversary at Rivermark last week! Help us congratulate her in the comments below. 🎉 "I can still recall my first visit to a Rivermark branch. I remember how helpful everyone was and so knowledgeable. It was impressive to have someone show kindness and patience while I asked all my questions and I recall thinking they really know a lot about accounts and loans. I decided to join as an employee 10 years ago and couldn't be prouder of how far Rivermark has come. Rivermarks' continued to grow in every way and make room for positive changes. I couldn't ask for anything else. THANK YOU RIVERMARK for supporting my family, team and members."

Celebrate Erica with us!! This week she's been with Rivermark for 15 years. 🎉 "Working for a financial cooperative like Rivermark has been the best decision of my career. The ability to love my job and take pride in the work I do is a feeling I have experienced every day for the past 15 years."

This past weekend, a handful of us from Rivermark braved the 35-mile Ride the Rim event around the breathtaking Crater Lake National Park! Every September, the park closes the roads to public traffic, giving cyclists and runners a car-free, serene experience around the lake’s edge. It was a fantastic adventure, and we're looking forward to doing it again next year!
