CHAIRMAN’S REPORT<br />

It was 65 years ago, when twelve individuals submitted a request to the <strong>Federal</strong> Deposit Insurance<br />

Corporation, that the <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> was established. Since then, our membership has grown<br />

to over 64,000 with assets of more than $500 million to become Nebraska’s largest locally owned credit<br />

union. I’m pleased to report that, despite the difficult economic environment that continues to plague other<br />

financial institutions, the past year has seen <strong>SAC</strong> FCU’s growth and success continue. As a matter of fact,<br />

we were ranked among the top 20 credit unions nationally in loan growth, share growth, and loan-to-share<br />

ratio.<br />

Our History<br />

1946<br />

The original field of membership<br />

was restricted to civilian employees<br />

of the Strategic Air Command<br />

Headquarters at Andrews Field,<br />

Maryland; <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> employees,<br />

members of their immediate families;<br />

and their organizations.<br />

While our growth and expansion has certainly been impressive, rest assured that it’s come as a result of<br />

a well thought-out strategy to ensure our efforts are focused on generating the greatest return on assets<br />

while ensuring safety and soundness. Every decision we make is with the best interests and needs of our<br />

members in mind because we never forget that it’s your money. That’s why we’re also extremely pleased<br />

to report that we continue to maintain an extremely low delinquency rate that’s less than half of the industry average.<br />

Of course, we realize that our success and growth comes as a result of meeting the needs of our members through superior<br />

products and service. That’s why we continue to place emphasis on employee orientation and extensive on-going training through<br />

our Culture Development Department. We’ve also increased our focus on technology to ensure we provide the best delivery<br />

methods possible. While we’ve increased our locations to nineteen to provide convenience with a personal touch, we want to<br />

continue to bring the same products and services to those of you who prefer to conduct your business remotely.<br />

While the last 65 years has been an incredible journey, I believe that the best is yet to come. With the recent approval to expand<br />

our field of membership to include the counties of Washington and Saunders in Nebraska and Mills and Harrison in Iowa, we’re<br />

looking forward to bringing the <strong>SAC</strong> FCU advantage to those communities as well.<br />

I’d like to thank my fellow committee and board volunteers who contribute their time and talents in charting the course of our<br />

<strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>. I’d also like to give special recognition to Jean Howard for her 30 years of volunteer service and for her recent<br />

induction into the Defense <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> Council Hall of Honor.<br />

Of course, none of our success would be possible without the hard work of our exceptional staff in executing our strategy<br />

and providing you with outstanding products and service. I think it’s also appropriate to mention how pleased we were to have<br />

our President, Gail DeBoer, selected by the National Association of <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>s for the prestigious and well-deserved<br />

distinction of “Chief Executive Officer of the Year.” This award recognizes outstanding leadership and credit union performance that<br />

places member service as its highest priority.<br />

Finally, I want to thank all of you for selecting <strong>SAC</strong> FCU as your trusted financial partner and for your support of the credit union<br />

philosophy of “people helping people.” While many things have changed over the last 65 years, one thing remains constant. We’ll<br />

continue to be committed to our core values of providing you, our member owners, with a safe and sound financial institution to<br />

meet all of your lifetime needs through competitive rates, convenient delivery methods, and superior products and service.<br />

PRESIDENT’S REPORT<br />

As I look back on the challenges <strong>SAC</strong> FCU has faced during the past few years, I am extremely pleased that<br />

we have successfully navigated through one of the most difficult financial periods in modern history. This is<br />

quite an accomplishment given that interest rates remained at the lowest levels in history. The <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />

prudent lending practices and conservative financial management have served us well during this difficult time.<br />

As we look forward, <strong>SAC</strong> FCU is poised to continue to provide our members with the financial tools they need<br />

to succeed in today’s complicated financial world. I am proud of the management team and the employees of<br />

the <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> for working tirelessly on your behalf to deliver these exceptional results.<br />

Since 1946, <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> has grown to be a leader in the credit union industry. <strong>SAC</strong> FCU has<br />

more than 64,000 members and over $500 million in assets, ranking it as the largest credit union in Nebraska.<br />

Through the years we have treated members as family – guiding them through financial challenges and sharing<br />

in their life events.<br />

The strong relationships that we have formed with our members are what have contributed to our growth and<br />

stability. Keeping in touch with our members’ ever-changing wants and needs has allowed us to provide them with the most innovative<br />

products and services. Our focus is to provide an outstanding experience in every branch, over the phone and on-line and to expand our<br />

products, services and facilities to position ourselves for future growth. Much of the <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> resources are used to foster innovation,<br />

provide continuous learning opportunities, develop lifelong relationships with members, proactively identify new market opportunities,<br />

ensure financial stability and exemplify social responsibility.<br />

The financial environment has seen innumerable changes in the past several years – in technology and delivery channels, and many<br />

more are sure to come. However, our members can rest assured that <strong>SAC</strong> FCU will continue to be an institution upon which they can rely<br />

and trust.<br />

<strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>’s community partnerships are evident in the strong ties it has forged with residents, community leaders,<br />

business owners and local schools. The <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> has become part of the fabric of these communities, providing affordable financial<br />

products and services and financial education, while maintaining a high profile at community meetings and events. Historically, <strong>SAC</strong> FCU<br />

has supported numerous community organizations, not only with vital monetary assistance, but also through the volunteer efforts of our<br />

employees.<br />

Many improvements to our <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> are on the horizon, both functionally and operationally, and combined with our drive<br />

for unmatched service we are positioned for the future. Members can look forward to these exciting initiatives: an upgraded online<br />

membership and deposit account opening system, a new online banking system with enhanced features and improved mobile banking<br />

application, and new initiatives to encourage children and young adults to join the credit union so future generations can enjoy the<br />

benefits of membership. This year, mobile banking and a <strong>SAC</strong> FCU Facebook page were implemented to improve member service and<br />

convenience through technology. Our goal remains to deliver high-quality products and service at the best possible price.<br />

Running the <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> takes a collective effort of a focused team of skilled professionals. Success begins with strong leadership.<br />

Your Board of Directors brings the business insight needed to drive the organization forward while the management team assists in<br />

building the vision and executes the business plan. Finally, we couldn’t do any of this without our team of outstanding employees who<br />

deliver exceptional service to our members.<br />

The past 65 years have been an amazing journey. Whatever the future holds, be assured that <strong>SAC</strong> FCU will continue to meet your<br />

needs, and we will always remember our proud heritage. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Management and Staff, we are honored and<br />

privileged to serve you.<br />

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE’S<br />

REPORT<br />

Each day brings new challenges to <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>. Their mission is providing the products and services to meet every stage of the<br />

membership’s life events. The primary responsibility of the Supervisory Committee is to ensure that our <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>’s policies and practices are<br />

satisfactorily protecting the assets of our membership and are in compliance with all applicable government regulations. It is also the responsibility of this<br />

committee to ensure that our annual financial statements fairly and accurately reflect the financial position of our credit union.<br />

The National <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> Administration (NCUA) recommends an independent quality assurance review of the Internal Audit Department be completed<br />

every five years and this was completed in April <strong>2011</strong>. Following the NCUA Audit, the Supervisory Committee completely revisited <strong>SAC</strong> FCU’s auditing<br />

procedures. This resulted in an improved auditing program. The annual independent audit and statement verification audit were completed by the CPA<br />

firm of Doeren Mayhew. There were no major concerns reported.<br />

The Supervisory Committee oversees the quality and integrity of the credit union’s financial statements and evaluates the performance of the internal<br />

audit function. The Committee reviews the internal control framework of the credit union to ensure the adequacy of internal controls surrounding assets<br />

and computerized information systems, reviews Board of Directors minutes, participates in the strategic planning, remains vigilant to what is happening<br />

in the credit union industry, and assists with member inquiries.<br />

The Supervisory Committee are pleased to report that <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> continues to be well managed and financially sound. Be assured that<br />

we will remain steadfast in our focus on safeguarding member assets.<br />

I want to thank all of the Supervisory Committee Members and alternates for volunteering their time and service. A special thank you goes to Steve<br />

Doty, my predecessor as Chairman, for his service and dedication to the Committee.<br />

Finally, we want to thank the membership for their confidence in, and support of, <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>. We look forward to serving you, our<br />

members, in 2012.<br />

Steve Williamson<br />

Supervisory Committee Chairman<br />

TREASURER’S REPORT<br />

I am very pleased to report that <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> has emerged from another tough economic year with strength and endurance. <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong><br />

<strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> has maintained a capital ratio of 8.82% based on total capital of $45 million vs. $517 million in total assets. The credit union’s total assets<br />

grew at a rate of 14% during the past year. As other institutions were tightening credit, we continued to meet the financial needs of our members.<br />

The credit union has had the advantage of being located in the Midwest, where the Nebraska unemployment rate was 4.1% in June, <strong>2011</strong> vs. the<br />

national unemployment rate of 9.2%. Lending has been weak on a national basis, and I am proud to report that <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> had loan growth<br />

of 17.7% during the past year. In addition to achieving the strong loan growth, we maintained our loan quality. The National <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> Association<br />

(NCUA) statistical records show that the ratio of delinquent loans to total loans is .52% for <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> vs. 1.49% for our peer average;<br />

further, our net charge-offs to average loans is .47% vs. .94% for the peer average.<br />

1985<br />

First Mortgage Loans were offered.<br />

A computerized audio response<br />

system, “MONEY TALK”, was<br />

installed.<br />

1986<br />

A discount brokerage program was<br />

instituted.<br />

Home Equity Loans were offered to<br />

the membership.<br />

An Automated Loan Application<br />

System (the first in the U.S.) was<br />

developed and installed at the C.U.<br />

<strong>Credit</strong> cards were offered.<br />

1988<br />

The C.U. returned to its roots by<br />

opening the Building 500 Branch<br />

at Offutt AFB.<br />

1989<br />

Total assets of the C.U. were over<br />

$100 million for the first time.<br />

You can count on <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> to remain financially stable during this period of economic troubles. Our recent expansion of the counties<br />

which we serve will allow us to bring our services to more members. We are committed to making a positive difference in our members’ lives by providing<br />

the products and services that help them through their life events.<br />

NAFCU CEO OF THE YEAR<br />

Gail L. DeBoer, President of <strong>SAC</strong> <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>, was chosen as CEO of the Year<br />

by the National Association of <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>s (NAFCU). DeBoer was honored as<br />

a NAFCU’s <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Awards Competition winner in conjunction with NAFCU’s 44th<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> Conference in San Francisco, June 28 – July 2.<br />

2007<br />

The Board of Directors announced<br />

Gail DeBoer as President of <strong>SAC</strong><br />

<strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>. The Shadow<br />

Lake Branch opened inside Hy-Vee<br />

at Shadow Lake Towne Center in<br />

Papillion. The South Omaha Branch<br />

opened at 24th & L Street.<br />

The <strong>Annual</strong> Awards Competition named the CEO of the Year in two credit union assetsize<br />

categories. DeBoer was a winner among credit unions with $150 million or more in<br />

assets. <strong>Annual</strong> Awards Competition winners were honored during the Awards Ceremony<br />

and Luncheon June 30 at NAFCU’s 44th <strong>Annual</strong> Conference & Exhibition and profiled in<br />

an issue of The <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> magazine.<br />

The national award recognizes the accomplishments of a credit union’s chief executive<br />

officer – the individual’s achievements, dedication, and expertise. DeBoer has excelled in her role as CEO for <strong>SAC</strong> FCU since<br />

taking her position in 2007. She has devoted energy to re-establishing <strong>SAC</strong> FCU as a viable contender with the biggest banks in<br />

the Omaha metro area, and in <strong>2010</strong> <strong>SAC</strong> FCU attained that goal and became the largest local credit union in the state, growing<br />

assets by more than 20 percent year over year.<br />

This success has allowed <strong>SAC</strong> FCU to actively impact the Omaha community through various members and community outreach<br />

programs. DeBoer’s energy has also gone into strengthening the community and developing others, which <strong>SAC</strong> FCU conveys<br />

through their community culture and business model. <strong>SAC</strong> FCU had successfully launched four new branches in <strong>2010</strong>, one being<br />

in an economically depressed neighborhood in North Omaha on Ames Avenue, which has become a hallmark and symbol for<br />

growth in this community.<br />

2008<br />

<strong>SAC</strong> FCU opened three new instore<br />

locations: Council Bluffs Super<br />

Saver, Millard Super Saver, and<br />

Midtown Hy-Vee.<br />

“I have had the pleasure of working with Gail for three years, so I’ve had the opportunity to watch her remarkable passion and<br />

commitment and the business transformation that has resulted at <strong>SAC</strong> FCU through her leadership. Their business growth…<br />

remarkable by any measure…is only rivaled by the culture of passion for members, associates and the greater community. <strong>SAC</strong><br />

FCU is a force, and Gail has modeled this through her leadership,” said Roger Fransecky, Ph.D, CEO and Founder of the global<br />

management consulting and leadership development firm, The Apogee Group, Inc.<br />

Through her hard work and dedication, DeBoer’s efforts contribute to the overall credit union community and its members, and<br />

to the greater Omaha community.<br />

DEFENSE CREDIT UNION<br />

COUNCIL HALL OF HONOR<br />

DCUC’s Hall of Honor was established twelve years ago as a means of recognizing individuals whose<br />

contributions and inordinate support of the credit union movement added great value to the defense<br />

<strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> Council and defense credit union community. Since August 2000 only 39 individuals have<br />

been selected for this coveted award. On August 23, <strong>2011</strong>, at the Defense <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> Council’s 48th<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> Conference, <strong>SAC</strong> FCU board member Jean Howard was inducted into DCUC’s Hall of Honor.<br />

Jean was selected for her long-standing volunteer support of credit unions, the Defense <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong><br />

Council, and the United States Air Force. As a military spouse, Howard dedicated her life to volunteerism,<br />

lending her support to military quality of life programs such as Family and Children Services and on-base<br />

hospitals. Her passion to serve prompted her to join <strong>SAC</strong> FCU in 1979, where she immediately became<br />

engaged in and enhanced the credit union’s audit policies, supervisory committee, and its extraordinary<br />

support of airmen and families at Offutt Air Force Base. Howard’s dedication to <strong>SAC</strong> FCU and her<br />

unwavering commitment to the credit union philosophy and that of the Defense <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> Council, continues to serve as a role<br />

model for her fellow board members to emulate.<br />
