ASE Credit Union in Wetumpka graciously hosted a crowd of area residents and business representatives at the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce Rise & Shine Coffee & Conversations this morning. Vanessa Royal, Executive Director of the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce, thanked everyone for attending the event.
“I’m very excited to be at our first event as the new chamber director,” said Royal. She shared that she has been attending the chamber events for years but was excited to be there “on the other side.”
The Rise & Shine Conversations are well-attended meetings for local businesses, elected officials, and area residents to come together in a welcoming environment before work to network with one another. The host location is given the opportunity to showcase its business and make the community aware of the services, goods, and offerings that its business provides.
ASE Credit Union provided a beautifully decorated event space for the meeting. Diane White and team with White Wings Catering were an integral part of the beauty with their creative and deliciously displayed breakfast and refreshments for attendees to enjoy.
Ashley Arnold, Branch Manager of ASE Credit Union, welcomed everyone as they walked through the doors. Her team wore their branded red shirts today for the event, and every part of her team was happy to engage with everyone in attendance.
Arnold addressed the crowd and stated, “I just really appreciate everyone for being here.” She was quick to thank her team for their involvement in the event as well. Arnold stated that their branch offers everything from lending, mortgage, teller, consumer, and business loans.
