Diversity in all its forms helps us improve the lives of our members, our employees and the communities we serve. Credit unions were born from people coming together to pool their resources and provide each other with credit and financial guidance. This cooperative structure means equity and inclusivity are inherently built into credit unions, providing a welcoming, supportive environment for all.At Summit, we strive to demonstrate our inclusive spirit. Our team establishes a true sense of belonging by embodying diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). We embrace strategies to ensure different identities and abilities are present in our organization and membership base. We focus on continuous improvement to ensure we provide universal access to opportunities. We see you. We are strengthening a culture that welcomes and values everyone. We want you to feel heard. You are fully accepted and are a part of this greater community. Summit strives to honor and nurture each of our unique experiences, perspectives and identities to create a truly inclusive and equitable environment for our employees, members and communities. Together, we can prove how a commitment to a welcoming, trusting and diverse culture is our strength. We recognize that our strength as a company is directly dependent on our commitment to developing a welcoming atmosphere for individuals from a variety of:
  • Racial and Ethnic Groups
  • Gender Identities
  • Sexual Orientations 
  • Generational Groups
  • Family Statuses
  • Multilingual Groups

"We are better and stronger when we hire, seek, share and encourage diverse perspectives from diverse people."

- Kim Sponem, Summit Credit Union CEO & President
We're proud of how Summit members and employees live our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion day in and day out.

"Summit supports diversity and inclusion by making it a priority. We all work together to promote change and collaborate to implement the changes needed. The conversations are ongoing and most importantly, genuine."

"Diversity in the organization makes a difference because you are not just serving the community, you ARE a part of the community you serve."

"I’ve been fortunate enough to be employed by a company that values Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as much as I do. Summit granted everyone a paid Diversity holiday that I spent celebrating my culture by attending a Pow Wow.  It was an honor to share my experience with my peers at Summit and inspire them to take part in local tribal events in the future."
