Watters Vice President Chairman Business Services Frank Garcia Janie Shockley Vice President Luis C. Mata Human Resources chairman’s message The year 2008 was a difficult one for millions of hardworking Americans. With the collapse of the housing market, the Wall Street bailout, closures of major financial institutions, corruption and mismanagement at the highest levels of corporate America and increased unemployment across the country, our country faced one of the worst years in recent memory. Long shielded from the sharp ups and downs of the national economy, El Paso was one of 58 cities in the United States that continued to grow during 2008. And, the same was true for GECU. While many financial services organizations throughout the country struggled, 2008 was a year of growth, strength and financial stability for your credit union as we ended the year with over $1.42 billion in assets and 281,983 members. Nevertheless, GECU was presented with challenges including a decrease in loan demand. But, as Yogi Berra once said, “If you donʼt know where youʼre going, you might wind up somewhere else.” Thanks to a proactive professional staff and the safe and sound business practices put in place to protect the money youʼve entrusted to us, we met those challenges head on, adapted to a changing environment and stayed the course. While itʼs fair to say we operated more conservatively in 2008, we didnʼt change our commitment to our members. When many troubled financial institutions made it difficult, GECU continued to provide loans for members purchasing or remodeling homes and buying automobiles. We never wavered from the philosophy on which we were founded 76 years ago – people helping people – not just in good times, but when times are tough. In 2008, we also celebrated the grand opening of GECUʼs Operations Center, “our diamond in the desert.” Built to house GECUʼs administrative functions, the striking design of our building is a symbol of stability and a testament to the strength of El Pasoʼs largest, locally-owned institution. Your board of directors is proud of what it represents for GECU and El Paso and congratulates GECUʼs management and staff team for keeping the vision alive. We may be in for a rough road ahead as the full effects of the economic crisis continue to unfold. But one thing you can count on, GECU is solid as a rock. Weʼve been here for 76 years and plan to be around for another 76. Rest assured your money is safe and it will be business as usual in 2009. Thank you for placing your confidence in GECU. Manuel R.
