Path to Success Featuring Lisa Bowers

About Lisa -

"I aspire to be a life-long learner, strategic thinker and a reliable and compassionate resource to other people. Either through coaching, strategic planning, conflict resolution, communication or any other human interaction, my passion lies at the ability to help people. Throughout my career journey I’ve learned a lot about what it means to “help people” and how I can provide value to the people I serve where I worked.

As a young college grad I learned quickly from my first job how to establish goals, manage projects and launch new initiatives. That all sounds inspiring and helpful in developing my skills, but the most valuable skill I learned there was resilience after I was laid off. I learned quickly what it meant to network and I wanted to put myself in a position so my family could rely on me for stability. I also learned that I wanted a career where I could help others get into a better position in life both financially and professionally.

I entered the financial industry – box 1 checked to help others get in a better financial state – and while in that industry I was helping professionals learn and grow in their career – box 2 professional development! My passion for helping others was lifted to a whole new level when I joined Dupaco Community Credit Union in 2015. On this career journey I’m learning every day, including what success means.

Today, I have the privilege and honor to lead 9 areas of our amazing credit union and I am inspired every day by those around me constantly living out the credit union philosophy of people helping people."
