“Teri is one of the strongest leaders I have been around during my career,” said Dave Larson, President and CEO of Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union. “I often speak of the importance of leaders achieving results. Effort is important, but results are key. Teri exemplifies results. So much of what we have accomplished over the past couple of years have been a result of Teri’s strong leadership. We often talk about the importance of getting better and stronger as an organization. We look to at areas where we believe we can be better for our members and employees. Teri embodies this belief and continually is looking for opportunities for us to improve. She is also so respected by our employees. She has this incredible ability with people that when she walks away from them, they want to be around her again.”
