Lorie Peacock

Board Endorsed

As a proud member of FirstOntario Credit Union for more than 30 years, with over 12 years of experience as a director on the board, I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to enhance our Board's efforts to benefit our members, partners, and the community. I look forward to the opportunity to return to the Board and uphold our member-focused values. It’s important that we continue to operate our Credit Union based on the core values that differentiate the credit union from a bank, that means being democratic, community based and focused on our memberships needs. I am dedicated to nurturing the community relationships we have built over the years.
