President's Message - Fall 2026
Change is in the Air
Fall has a way of reminding us that change can be a good thing. As cooler days and colorful leaves arrive, many of us are planning for the holidays and looking forward to time with the people we love. And while the seasons may change, our appreciation for the people and communities that make Jolt so special never will.
Whether you're planning seasonal travel, managing holiday expenses, or preparing for a major purchase, we're here to help make it a little easier. One way we're doing that is with Jolt's Ignite! Cash Back Visa, which gives you unlimited 2%* cash back on every purchase. It's been great to see so many of our members using their cards and earning cash back along the way. And in November and December, we're making it even better with 3%* unlimited cash back just in time for the holidays. Because making an expensive time of year a little easier on the pocketbook is exactly why we are here.
Auto leasing is now in full swing at many of our partner dealerships, and we're glad to offer this option for members who prefer to lease rather than buy. Leasing a new or used vehicle may provide more flexibility and a lower monthly payment. And with more dealerships joining the program, it'll soon be even easier for members to explore whether leasing is the right fit for them.
Most importantly, we are also honoring a valued member of our Jolt family. After 21 years of dedicated service, Bridget Looby Staffileno is retiring at the end of the year. Throughout her career, Bridget has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our members, our staff, and the greater credit union movement. We are deeply grateful for the endless contributions made and wish her happiness & fulfillment in this next exciting chapter of life.
Just as the seasons change, your financial needs will too. Whatever comes next, Jolt will be here to support you every step of the way.
Thank you for your membership!
Alan Watson, President/CEO
