Durante 75 años…

 

Nos hemos permanecido fieles a nuestra misión: ayudar a quienes más lo necesitan, servir a los demás e inspirar. Las cooperativas de crédito son diferentes: le pertenecemos a nuestros miembros – A Usted. Brindamos oportunidades donde otros dicen que no.

 

Nuestra historia comenzó en 1950, cuando el crédito era un lujo al que pocos podían acceder. Comprar una casa o un automóvil era inalcanzable para muchos. Fue entonces cuando un grupo de empleados comprometidos de Alcoa Davenport Works (hoy Arconic), en Riverdale, Iowa, se reunió en una pequeña sala en un sótano y fundó lo que entonces se llamó Alcoa Employees Credit Union. Su objetivo era sencillo: apoyarse mutuamente. Estos voluntarios trabajaban horas adicionales para otorgar préstamos pequeños pero significativos—a veces para que un compañero pudiera comprar carbón para calefacción, otras para que una familia pudiera dar el pago inicial de una vivienda.

Hoy, 75 años después, Ascentra ha crecido y atiende a más de 40,000 miembros en 20 condados de Iowa e Illinois. Con nueve sucursales ubicadas en Clinton, Muscatine y las Quad Cities, hemos ampliado nuestro alcance—pero nuestro espíritu sigue siendo el mismo. Vivimos bajo el lema “Escuchando, atendiendo, y haciendo lo correcto.” No es solo un eslogan—es nuestra manera de responder a las necesidades de nuestros miembros y de la comunidad.

No solo ofrecemos servicios financieros; caminamos junto a nuestros miembros—guiándolos, educándolos y apoyándolos en cada paso del camino. Creemos en construir comunidades más fuertes, porque eso es lo que nos hace diferentes. Eso es lo que nos hace Ascentra.

Ascentra Credit Union Partners with Gilda’s Club Quad Cities to Celebrate Memory of Late President and CEO Dale Owen

Following the loss of Ascentra President and CEO, Dale Owen in Nov. 2020 to pancreatic cancer, Ascentra teamed up with Gilda’s Club Quad Cities to not only sponsor their Annual Run for Laughs, but also to host a special run/walk for Ascentra staff to honor Dale’s memory.

The American Cancer Society predicts that there will be 1.9 million new cancer cases and over 608,000 deaths from cancer in the United States during 2021.

The mission of Gilda’s Club Quad Cities is to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. Free of charge, Gilda’s Club provides support, education and hope to all people affected by cancer.

“Gilda’s Club works tirelessly to better the lives of cancer patients and their families,” said Barry Shaw, Marketing Team Lead, Ascentra Credit Union and event coordinator.  “It was fitting to continue our sponsorship of this event and combine it with a personal walk for Ascentra Staff to celebrate the life of our past leader and friend, Dale Owen.”

The walk, held on Saturday, April 24th began at Ascentra’s home office in Downtown Bettendorf, extended to the Bettendorf Riverfront Trail and ended back at the home office.  Over 50 employees wearing custom Ascentra blue “Be the Light”/ Expanding Hope t-shirts, and friends, family and Gilda’s Club staff participated in the 5k run/walk.

During Dale’s five-month battle he made it a priority to keep in touch with staff, friends, colleagues and family, reminding them to “Be the Light” to others.
