Tell us a little about your business/organization: how did it begin; what are your services/products, etc.
Dover Federal Credit Union was first chartered in 1958 by a handful of Air Force and civilian workers at Dover Air Force Base. Their goal was to create a member-owned financial cooperative, democratically controlled by its members and operated for the purpose of promoting thrift, providing credit at competitive rates, and providing other financial services to its members. Today we serve over 40,000 members, encompassing the military, Delaware families, and over 450 Workplace Partners.
Dover Federal offers a full line of financial products including Mortgages, Home Equity loans and lines of credit. Credit cards, several types of checking and savings accounts including business accounts.

Tell us about your role in the business/organization.
As the Indirect Lending Manager, I represent DFCU for our dealer partners, which includes nearly every new car franchise in Delaware from New Castle to Sussex County and several in Maryland.
I am a point of contact for the dealers with questions or any issues that may arise, which may include funding loans and loan decisions. DFCU has built and maintains strong relationships with our dealers to insure they and our members both existing and new have a positive experience with both the dealer and DFCU.
