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.
