We’re thrilled to recognize Daniela Damm, Member Service Representative from Access Credit Union as our Member Service Excellence Spotlight winner for Q3!

After 15 years in the dental industry, Daniela decided to take a leap and completely change careers. During her daily commute from St. Malo to Winnipeg, she spotted a job posting and thought, why not try something new?

One year later, Daniela says working in the credit union system is so much more than she imagined. She loves connecting with members, investigating unique situations, and building relationships. Every day brings something different, and the team at Access Grunthal branch has been phenomenal.

What drives Daniela to go above and beyond? Members. She is passionate about understanding their perspectives, helping them through challenges, and making their experience exceptional. She turns moments of waiting—like when technology is catching up—into opportunities to build and strengthen relationships.

Her dedication earned her a Member Service Excellence Spotlight nomination from her supervisor.

During a routine interaction, Daniela’s sharp attention to detail led her to notice something unusual. Taking the initiative to investigate, she uncovered that a member had been targeted by a scammer. Thanks to her diligence and sound judgement, her credit union was able to act swiftly to protect the member. Her efforts in going above and beyond for the member did not go unnoticed and is just one of many examples of Daniela’s dedication to delivering A+ service.

When asked what being part of a co-operative means to her, Daniela shared:

“Being part of a co-operative for the first time has been eye-opening. Moving from a privately-owned dental office to a member-driven organization has taught me so much about collaboration and community. Even though Access is a large company, this branch feels like family.”

Her advice: Give members your heart. See things from their perspective and go beyond the transaction. We’ve all been in their shoes—be the person who makes a difference.

Congratulations, Daniela, for being selected for the Member Service Excellence Spotlight in Q3!

We are currently accepting nominations for Q4! Nominate your colleagues before Wednesday, December 31!

We’re thrilled to recognize Stephanie Bolduc, Member Service Representative from Steinbach Credit Union as our Member Service Excellence Spotlight winner for Q2!

Stephanie was nominated by a colleague for stepping in to help members avoid a fraudulent situation, an outstanding example of care and vigilance in action.

Her journey began at Interior Savings in Ashcroft, BC, where she spent four years building strong relationships and supporting members. After relocating to Manitoba, she continued that journey with SCU in Steinbach, where she’s been making a difference for the past four years. Stephanie’s experience spans industries, from financial services to the airline sector, even supporting her husband’s diamond drilling business. Each chapter has shaped her empathy, grit, and ability to truly listen.

At SCU, she’s known for putting members first, not just as clients, but as people. She wears her “mom hat” with pride, offering thoughtful advice and heartfelt support. It’s not just about transactions, it’s about helping members leave with a smile, feeling seen and heard. To be part of a credit union is to be part of a family, and Stephanie embodies that spirit each day.

We received many inspiring nominations this quarter, each one a testament to how Manitoba’s credit unions go above and beyond in supporting their members with care, commitment, and heart. Thank you to everyone who participated!
