Born and raised in Chugiak, Alaska, one of the things Trisha Knox values most is giving back to the community she has loved all her life. With the determination she learned growing up in a family of hard-working business owners, she’s spent her 19 years with Nuvision doing exactly that. Trisha always makes time to cultivate real relationships with community members and meet the needs of those around her, whether that means coaching youth sports or helping with Nuvision’s financial literacy program for young adults.

It’s been a busy couple of months at Nuvision. We’ve raised $11,000 for food pantries in Alaska, gave over 700 veterans $25 gas cards across all markets, and hosted a number of lunches and events to thank the local military. Now, it’s about to get even busier! As we enter the holiday season, our efforts to serve the community are ramping up. Between toy drives and other holiday festivities, we’re excited to continue investing in the neighborhoods we serve. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to during the past few months and a glance at what’s coming this December:

the LA Department of Children and Family Services, she now works full-time in the financial services industry, where she and her husband have built a practice helping families strengthen their financial futures and mentoring agents who want to make a living as business owners. For years, she’s partnered with us to lead financial workshops for high school students across Southern California. That, along with her commitment to community service, is why we choose Kirsten for this month’s Nuvision Hero.

October 21st is the 73rd annual International Credit Union Day–and we can’t wait! It’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on the importance of our mission and celebrate the members like you who make it possible. To thank you for your membership on this day, we’ll be hosting a $100 gift card drawing on Instagram.
