Imperial Cleaning Systems, Inc. is living proof that magic happens when you combine relentless determination with the right partners. Our story isn't just about cleaning spaces—it's about clearing the path for dreams to flourish, supported by the kind of banks that see beyond the balance sheet. Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company (Member FDIC) stands out as a beacon of hope, proving that with empathy, understanding, and financial support, small and medium-sized enterprises can not only survive but thrive. Our CEO, Robert Sherrill, recently shared our journey in the Tennessean, painting a vivid picture of what happens when community banks invest in real people with real ambitions. It’s about more than just loans and interest rates; it’s about building a community where every entrepreneur can shine, regardless of their starting point. This is the essence of what we stand for at Imperial. It’s not just about the business we're in, but the lives we impact and the barriers we break down.

Had an eye-opening networking session today with the incredible Jessicia Myers and Sara Butch from First Federal Bank of Kansas City! 🏦🤝 In the credit union world, we often talk about our "people helping people" philosophy. Today, I discovered that community banks, particularly First Federal Bank of KC, are driven by the same spirit! Key takeaways: - First Federal Bank is run by a board of directors, not shareholders - aligning their focus squarely on community needs. - The parallels between credit unions and community banks in prioritizing people over profits was interesting. - We found common ground not just in finance, but in our personal lives too - swapping stories about kids and sports! Jessicia and Sara, thank you for this enriching exchange. It's heartening to see that whether in credit unions or community banks, the core mission of serving people and communities remains strong. To my network: Have you experienced similar "aha moments" when networking outside your immediate industry? The insights can be game-changing!

District-57 ABMs met this week to discuss empathy and it's connection to credit union philosophy. We walked in the shoes of many of our members and fellow employees through an interactive simulation on what it's like to live near poverty level or at or slightly above ALICE and all the tough decisions faced. We then discussed the iconic "Umbrella Man" created by Boston Globe artist, Joseph Stern in 1923. Today, we face all the same challenges of the 20s and more! The Umbrella Man of the 1920s depicts how credit unions protected members from hard times, sickness, and financial distress. Our AMBs, Leslie Raynor, Lezlie Mull, Bryan Kornemann, and Stephanie Spencer identified and discussed how SECU protects our members from today's issues: scams, fraud, inaccurate financial information circulating on social media, and inflation. At SECU, like all credit unions, we are focused on protecting our members by strengthening their financial aptitude by listening to our members' stories, challenges, and dreams and setting them on the path to fulfillment through education, financial counseling, and financial planning services. If you would like an SECU employee to assist with any sort of financial literacy programming or discussion, please reach out to your local branch. #weareSECU and #weareheretohelp #teamSECU #financialliteracy #empathy #walkinsomeoneelsesshoes #spent

On April 30th, 1791, the First Bank of the United States opened in Philadelphia, becoming the nation's first federally chartered bank. Led by Alexander Hamilton, it played a vital role in shaping the early American financial system, despite facing significant political opposition.
