Over $17,000 in donations from our departments giving back to the community in ways that matter most to them.

Assembled 400 snack-filled goodie bags and donated $25,000 to regional food pantries, supporting the equivalent of 75,000 pounds of food for neighbors in need.
Awarded seven scholarships totaling $11,000. Total since 1995: $258,500.
As we reflect on 2025, we’re proud to report a year defined by strong performance and an unwavering commitment to our Fibre Family. Your trust fuels everything we do—and it shows in the progress we made together.
Assets, loans, deposits, and members all increased last year. Our return on assets and capital grew; however, delinquencies and charge-offs grew, as well. The credit union remains focused on proactive strategies as we continue to navigate an economic environment which is negatively impacting our members’ financial health.
Service and access were major priorities. We launched two new teams designed to elevate the member experience across every channel. The Virtual Financial Services Center (FSC) brings personalized support through video, phone, and chat—delivering the same services members expect in person, with the added convenience of a virtual option. This year, the Virtual FSC will expand services and begin offering extended hours. We also created the Member Experience Support Center, a central hub that equips our frontline and digital teams with real-time answers, tools, and specialized guidance so they can spend more time on member relationships.
We invested in both our spaces and our capabilities. Our Main Financial Services Center on Commerce Ave in Longview is closed temporarily for our first remodel in 18 years. Last summer we moved our digital teams into our new Digital Experience Center to consolidate and streamline virtual services. Looking ahead, we’re expanding into Ridgefield, Washington, with a new financial services center planned for Royal Ridge Station Shopping Center. We plan to break ground this summer and will announce an opening date later this year. The location will offer full-service banking and Interactive Teller Machines with live video support.
Because of the strategic impact we have had in our communities, we have received multiple national and regional awards. We earned the Juntos Avanzamos designation—affirming our commitment to Hispanic and immigrant communities—and were named #1 in Washington on Forbes’ America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2025 list. Most importantly, Fibre Federal and TLC members saved more than $45.3 million compared with leading banks—about $518 per member. Together, we also contributed $301,967 to 173 organizations and volunteered 2,798 hours in our communities.
Thank you for advancing with us. Together, we will continue building brighter financial futures and stronger communities.

Your Supervisory Committee fulfills this responsibility in two ways. We meet regularly with the Credit Union’s Vice President of Internal Audit, Luci Sherard, who assists the Committee in verifying compliance within our internal control framework. We also engage an external audit firm, Baker Tilly, to audit the financial statements and the operational controls surrounding those financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing principles.
Supervisory Committee members attend regular monthly Supervisory Committee meetings, as well as monthly meetings of the Board of Directors. At these meetings we review the work of the Internal Auditor, the external auditor, and management to ensure that the Supervisory Committee’s responsibilities are properly discharged.
Based on our audits and the reports of other experts, the Supervisory Committee is satisfied that the records of Fibre Federal and TLC are accurately maintained, and the Credit Union is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We thank the Credit Union management and staff for their diligent work that ensures such a well-run organization.
Jeff Skeie,
Supervisory Committee Chair
