ANNUAL REPORT - Jax Federal Credit Union
Transcript of ANNUAL REPORT - Jax Federal Credit Union
As we reflect on the achievements of the last twelve months, we express our appreciation to you, our over 35,000 loyal members, who support Jax Federal Credit Union. We also thank our associates who are committed to making it easy to handle the financial aspects of your busy lives.
In 2010, the credit union adopted an organic growth strategy that requires core profitability, engaged employees, and high levels of member satisfaction, demonstrated by a strong likelihood to recommend JAXFCU to family and friends. Consequently, the credit union has developed its Strategic Business Plan around these principles, using Member Growth, Product Penetration, and Net Promoter Score (NPS) to gauge Member Satisfaction. The following summarizes the credit union’s performance in these crucial areas:
• Member Growth – JAXFCU saw positive member growth for the sixth consecutive year.
• Product Penetration – Credit cards and auto loans per member rose.
• Net Promoter Score – As of June 2018, JAXFCU’s NPS was 91 which can be compared to the credit union average of 61.3 and the bank average of 35.
The leadership of JAXFCU understands the role our staff has played in achiev-ing the high NPS scores noted above. In late 2017, the credit union completed its second Associate Engagement Survey conducted by DecisionWise, and the results were quite rewarding. Data was collected from 99 participants, across all departments, and locations. Here are some of the findings:
• The overall score is eight points above the DecisionWise benchmark of 74%. Clearly, JAXFCU is viewed by our associates as a great place to work.
• Key strengths include Organizational Care and Manager Effectiveness.
Growing organically remains our focus, and we continue to grow through referrals from you, our loyal members. We appreciate every friend and family member you send our way. Over the past twelve months, JAXFCU could be found on local television and radio stations as we spread the news that any-one who lives, works, learns, or worships in Northeast Florida is eligible to join our credit union. Our associates are active in the communities we serve, volunteering their time, talent, and treasure for local veterans, children, and animals (see page 5).
While I am pleased to report our successes and the improvements made during the past 12 months, I am also saddened because this will be my last Message from the President as I will retire at the end of the calendar year. It has been an incredible twenty-one-year journey during which I have had the opportunity to talk with numerous members, often accepting compliments for the staff and sometimes, responding to a complaint or solving a problem. Through these conversations, I have learned that members’ financial needs are as varied and diverse as the markets we serve and that every member has his / her own story covering the successes and challenges associated

with maneuvering the financial aspects of life. At JAXFCU, we have fostered an environment where we listen to those stories and attempt to fashion solutions based individual needs and circumstances. You are never a number at JAXFCU. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the President of your credit union since 1997. It is my sincere hope that during my tenure, JAXFCU has helped you move a little closer to achieving your financial hopes and dreams.
I am grateful for the many dedicated volunteers, past and present, with whom I have worked. Thank-you for the trust you placed in my leadership. Our volunteers always put the interest of the membership first, and they are methodically working to select and onboard the new President & CEO.
Finally, I cannot end my last President’s Report without a special thank you to the Management Team and staff. I am a better person, personally and professionally, for the opportunity of having worked with you. As I move into the next phase of my life’s journey, I have so many memories of our time together. We’ve laughed together and sometimes, cried together. We made it through Y2K, economic slowdowns, the Great Recession, the Real Estate Bubble, and the aftermath of two hurricanes and we did it as a team!
When we tick off the numerous accomplishments of the past 21 years, know that it was our loyal members, volunteers, and staff that have made JAXFCU the successful financial institution it is today.
Sincerely,Gerri F. Sexsion, President and CEO
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express gratitude to Ms. Gerri Sexsion, our President and CEO, for her many years of dedication and leadership to Jax Federal Credit Union.
I would also like to provide the membership with an update on our CEO search and replacement plans. The Board of Directors is working closely with a well-respected subject-matter expert in the credit union industry with over 30 years in executive search experience. Our first priority is to establish the framework and timeline for a successful CEO transition. Early projections esti-mate that the search process will range between four to six months.
Ms. Gerri will continue her role as President and CEO in the interim. Our credit union is stable and prepared as we make this transition, with experienced staff in the branches combined with seasoned support teams in the back office. The executives and managers continue to implement the strategic plan that drives JAXFCU forward every day.
Most importantly, we appreciate you, our loyal members, whom we exist to serve to the very best of our abilities. We look forward to introducing our next President and CEO to you in the coming months. Thank you for your loyalty and support!
Charles McLeod, Chairman of the Board

On behalf of Jax Federal’s Board of Directors, I am pleased to share the Annual Treasurer’s Report with the JAXFCU membership. 2017 was a good year for our credit union. Over the twelve months ending June 30, 2018, Loans to Members increased by $13.5 Million, nearly 5%, and Members’ Deposits increased by $10.5 Million, or 3.1%. Additionally, Members’ Equity increased by $2.7 Million or 6.8%. Finally, the five-year trend for Net Worth, Loans, Deposits, and Assets are positive, showing consistent year-over-year improvement.
We anticipate challenges ahead due to the general economic uncertainties with the interest rate environment and competitive pressures which we are tackling head-on in our strategic planning.

MESSAGE FRoM THE
