OUCU Financial

OUCU Financial was proud to be a bronze sponsor of the 110th Annual Marietta Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner. Mortgage Operations & Loan Servicing Manager, Jessica Jarvis, and Business Development Consultant, Teresa Bonvechio, were thrilled to attend this event, and we congratulate the impressive 2025 award winners. CEO of Stuckey’s Corporation, Stephanie Stuckey, was the headline speaker. Inspired by her grandfather’s resilience and adaptability to changes in the market, Stephanie has returned the company to its southern pecan and candy roots. Stephanie shared lessons she has learned in reviving the 88-year-old family brand. Know your why, be authentic, have a purpose, and see adversity as an opportunity to get outside of your comfort zone. Great entrepreneurs solve problems that people have. Stephanie also stated that every customer is like a friend, and we feel the same way about each and every member of OUCU Financial!
