Her Interview
Ten minutes with Renae
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from my personality and the people I surround myself with. I am a people person and always surround myself with people that bring me up. You are who you hang around with. This personality makes connecting with others easy for me.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
My mentor Bill Cloyd taught me to be very humble when I first started out. That carried over into the credit union philosophy of people helping people. I helped a young recovering addict get an $8,000 car loan despite his past, and he now owns his own steakhouse. This shows the credit union difference of being humanized rather than just looking at credit scores.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Get involved with your community, find out who your leaders are, and watch them closely, walk beside them, learn everything you can from them. Be true to yourself and don't be afraid to speak up. Listen to your elders because we've been there and done that. Don't be shy but don't be aggressive either.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity is number one. Do the right thing all the time. Work hard.
