Candidate Spotlight
Matthew Flewelling
"I have been a proud member of Impact Credit Union since 1996, and over the years I've seen firsthand the value it brings to members and the broader community. My long-standing membership has given me a deep appreciation for the mission of the credit union, and I would be honored to contribute to its continued growth and success.
I am both civic-minded and community-minded. Much of my personal and professional life has been dedicated to serving others - whether through education, athletics, or local initiatives. I believe strongly in the importance of financial literacy, community engagement, and ensuring that families and individuals have access to resources that help them thrive.
Serving on the board would allow me to:
- Represent members' voices and ensure their needs remain in the center of decisions.
- Bring community perspective as someone actively engaged in local schools, athletics, and civic life.
This would allow me to continue giving back to the community that has given so much to me"
Bruce N. Hirt

The future of Impact Credit Union is bright, and I look forward to continuing to serve our members."
