FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Kenton, OH — Quest Federal Credit Union is announcing the appointment of Austin Oglesbee and Jennifer Hattery to the organization’s Credit Committee. Mark Light and Travis King both have relocated out of state and have resigned their positions. “Quest would like to thank Travis and Mark for their many years of dedication and volunteerism to our credit union. Both were passionate about assisting our members in achieving their financial goals” stated Matt Jennings, CEO of Quest.

Austin Oglesbee began his training with Quest in 2022 as a Board Intern and has learned several areas of operation of the credit union and was a solid fit for the credit committee based on his education and business background. Austin is a graduate of Upper Scioto Valley school and achieved an associate’s degree from Rhodes State College. For the last 11 years, Austin has worked as the Sales Manager for WIWA which is an industry leader in industrial coatings along with operating the family farm with his father and brother. Austin is married to Brittanie, and they have a 9-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter.

Jennifer Hattery also began her career with Quest serving as a Board Intern since 2022. Jennifer has experience in many business and professional areas and proved to be a quick study and a strong candidate for the Credit Committee. Jennifer is a graduate of Kenton Senior High School and currently works as the Adult Programming Coordinator for the Mary Lou Johnson Hardin County District Library and also serves as an Assistant with the United Way of Hardin County. Jennifer and her husband Brian reside in Kenton with their four daughters and are active members of the Abundant Life Assembly of God Church among several other area organizations. Jennifer’s passion for her community and giving back is a product of working in the family business of her parents, Tom and Cathy Taylor, who were the former owners of BR Brunson’s Family Restaurant where Jennifer interacted with many customers and organizations in our community.

Sarah Wirbel, President of the Board stated “Quest is pleased to have tremendous volunteer interns that are learning something new all the time and are always open to learning more about the operations of the credit union and the duties of our Board and Committees. Austin and Jennifer have caught on very quickly and are going to do great things for our community and our members serving on our Credit Committee”.

The Credit Committee role is to set and manage the lending and other related policies of the credit union along with reviewing loans and insuring loan quality standards are adhered to by the loan department. A Credit Committee member is an elected position and with the mid-term departure of Light and King, the Board of Directors took the action of appointment to keep the Credit Committee strong and functioning as intended.

From the CEO’s Desk

Hello, my name is Matt Jennings, and I am the Chief Executive Officer of Quest Federal Credit Union and I hope this letter finds you all well and in good health.

First, our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Indian Lake community for your continued progress in recovering from the recent tornado damage. We offer our condolences to those families that lost loved ones and we are here to serve through this recovery period in any way that we can. Our office escaped damage, but our neighbors did not fare as well, and we hope for their speedy repair and replacement of homes and belongings.

Saturday, March 16th marked our 55th Annual Meeting of Member Owners and we had a fantastic breakfast served by the Plaza Inn Family Restaurant and enjoyed the beautiful Memorial Park Golf Course views. President Sarah Wirbel updated the attendees on our successes in 2023, I summarized our financial performance for year end as well as our plans for 2024 and Vice President Ron Rogers completed the nominating cycle for 2024. Returning to the Board of Directors are Nikki Haushalter and Brandon Ramge and Mark Light will return on the Credit Committee. I also had the pleasure of recognizing the Board and Staff Members for their years of service and they are as follows; Natasha Dyer, Jason Wilson, Alexis Smith, Mackenzie Wallace, Kelly Schwartz and Steven Stalder for 5 years. Cam Hemmerly, Nikki Haushalter, Kayla Richardson, Brian Sprang and Krane Stahler for 10 years. Chuck Butcher for 15 years, Jessica Shepherd for 25 years, Tammy Sherman for 30 years and Jeff Beach for 40 years.

The card transition conversation is heating up as we head into 2024 and we will begin pushing out more and more information to our member owners through our website, mailings and social media. Do not hesitate to call or stop by one of our branches if you have questions but in reality, this transition should be a non-event for our members. The real change is the backside processing that most members do not see and a change to our card reward program. Again, if you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out.

If you have not already, please check out our Exploration Podcast series which you can find on our website or by visiting the podcast app on your smart phone and searching Quest Exploration. We have built a robust library covering many topics that you may find of interest or that can be used for self help for such things as online banking, learning how to apply for loans, student loans and much more.

Listen to Exploration!

In closing, thank you for your patronage, and the Board of Directors and Staff would like to wish you all the best. We view Quest as a big family and we are here to help, especially during difficult times like our friends and neighbors in the Indian Lake region are experiencing. We have several options for disaster assistance programs for our new and existing members and if you need help, I encourage you to reach out to any of our branch locations. Thank you and I welcome any comments, suggestions or questions from our member owners. I can be reached by calling the Main Office or via email at mjennings@questfcu.com. Thank you for your loyal patronage to Quest and I challenge you to Explore the Possibilities!

Matt Jennings, Chief Executive Officer
