President and CEO Mike Boden stated that the initiative serves to honor both the organization’s history and its future trajectory. The credit union, which currently manages $4.3 billion in assets, is emphasizing accessibility by opening a new branch in Peoria to better serve residents in the West Valley. This expansion aligns with the organization's broader strategy to increase its market share while providing existing members with enhanced financial tools.

To coincide with the countdown, the credit union introduced several limited-time promotions designed to attract new members and consolidate existing household debt. These include a $375 bonus for new members, up to $1,500 in incentives for households transferring auto loans, and a $750 reduction in appraisal fees for new mortgage applicants. Founded in 1951, the institution now operates 26 branches and serves over 230,000 members across the state.
