The Corporate Connection
A Note from Chris
At Corporate Central, we are dedicated to giving back to you, our valued members, and to the broader community. Our unwavering commitment to your financial well-being and to the credit union movement defines who we are.
We aim to elevate our educational offerings and continue to lead by example. To help us achieve this, Kevin Chiappetta took on a new role of Senior Vice President/Chief Education & Research Officer in March 2024.
We are proud to offer industry-leading rates, a testament to our ongoing efforts to provide you with the best financial products and services.
In the spirit of community, we are excited to host our inaugural 5k run & walk in Muskego on Saturday, August 3, benefiting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Additionally, mark your calendars for our Credit Union Day at the Ballpark on Sunday, August 11.
Sincerely,

Chris Felton
President/CEO
