People Driven Credit Union is proud to announce that our very own Julia Kaiser, Community Relationship Manager, was named Team Member of the Year at the 2025 MCUL & MCUF Awards Gala. The annual celebration honors Michigan credit union professionals who go above and beyond to make a positive impact in their communities. On a night filled with outstanding leaders, Julia stood out for her relentless commitment to financial wellness, education, and outreach.

  • Led multiple financial education workshops, empowering individuals and families with the tools to build brighter financial futures.
  • Spearheaded community initiatives ranging from holiday food drives to charity fundraisers, all aimed at uplifting underserved communities.
