adminJan Page, CEO of Community South Credit Union in Chipley, FL, had her column published online in Credit Union Journal as she relayed the experiences her credit union employees and members encountered when Hurricane Michael hit the panhandle on Oct. 10 with Category 4 force.

That can be a life-changing moment for someone who has just gone through such devastation.”
