2026 Annual Business Meeting

2025 has come and gone, and I always wonder, how do the years go by so fast! So many activities, programs, innovations, community events, staff events,  strategic plan initiatives to accomplish, and our never-ending goal of providing our members with the best service possible as we strive to provide Financial Well-Being for All. 

2025 was a year of creating greater efficiency and strengthening our reserves for the betterment of our membership and P1FCU. We met or exceeded most of our goals set through the work of our excellent staff. We have experienced several retirements of some of our long-term staff who have done such a wonderful job over the years, and we wish them the best in this time of their lives.  

P1FCU was recognized nationally in 2025 for our excellence in marketing by winning 7 Diamond Awards in several categories from America's Credit Unions in competition with 180 $1,000,000,000 and larger asset size credit unions, ranking us in the 98th percentile for earned awards. We were also recognized by Forbes Magazine as "The Best Credit Union in the State of Idaho for 2025," as we were in 2024, and regionally, we were recognized as the Best Credit Union and the Best Mortgage Lending Company in the Best of the Inland NW Community Choice Awards. Our staff engages in hundreds of region-wide community events, and locally, in each community where we operate, our staff plays an integral part in the fabric of the communities we serve.  

As we roll forward into 2026, we once again have a full plate in front of us. We will continue to push for efficiency, goal attainment, and the financial results that will keep P1FCU financially strong for its members. We will be working diligently to ensure a smooth rollout of our Alkami Digital Banking platform in March, continue our Balance Sheet optimization work, monitor our Capital-Based Growth strategy, increase our net worth position, and enhance overall staff training and professional growth while developing future leaders by increasing the skills of our Executive Team and Senior Leadership Team. 

I am honored to report to you that I was recently made aware that P1FCU will be recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Best Regional Banks & Credit Unions for 2026. This multi-year study analyzed thousands of banks and credit unions – incorporating financial health indicators, customer sentiment, and millions of digital reviews. We already have a start for 2026 on another award-winning year for P1FCU! 

We are preparing for the 2026 Annual Business Meeting, which will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, at the P1FCU Administration Center located at 1025 Warner Avenue in Lewiston, Idaho.  

The Board of Directors has approved board candidates submitted by our Board Secretary after the approval of the slate of candidates by our Board Nominating Committee. The election will not be conducted by ballot, and there will be no nominations from the floor when there is only one nominee for each position to be filled. The Board Nominating Committee of P1FCU has nominated the following 3 candidates for 3-year terms:

He moved to Lewiston to attend Lewis-Clark State College, where he graduated with two vo-tech degrees and a business degree. Brett enjoys many of our area's outdoor recreational opportunities with his wife and their four sons.

He studied information systems in college. Kyle enjoys traveling with his wife, Stephanie, and his 3 children, and being involved in the community by contributing to organizations such as the Holy Family School, the Boys and Girls Club, Clarkston High School Booster Club, and youth sports and activities in the LC Valley. He is the past President of the Pacific Northwest Direct Seed Association and is a member of The Executive Program for Agriculture Producers. Kyle has experience managing his own business and brings that perspective to the Board.
