It is, has been, and will continue to be the policy of Scott Credit Union to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to race, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation and/or sexual identity, national origin, marital status, genetic information, known physical and mental impairments, membership in the uniformed services, disability based on veterans status or status as a veteran of the Vietnam War. Further, it is the policy of Scott Credit Union to undertake affirmative action in compliance with all federal, state, and local requirements. I wish to take this opportunity to issue a formal reaffirmation of this policy and to assure each applicant, employee and party with whom we do business of my personal commitment to our equal opportunity and affirmative action objectives.

Our continued success depends heavily on the full and effective utilization of qualified persons. I will continue to direct our employment practices toward ensuring equal opportunity for all. Scott Credit Union intends that all matters related to recruiting, hiring, training, compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, terminations and layoffs and recalls, as well as all credit union-sponsored social and recreational programs and all treatment on the job be free of unlawful discriminatory practices.

As a government contractor we are obliged to keep records, make reports to the federal government, develop written Affirmative Action Programs and otherwise document the results of our good faith efforts to ensure equality of employment opportunity at Scott Credit Union.

While, as President, I retain the overall responsibility for Scott Credit Union’s Equal Employment Opportunity Affirmation Action Programs which include the administration and implementation of these important programs for women, minorities, physically and mentally impaired persons, disability based on veterans status or status as a veteran of the Vietnam Era which are the responsibility of the Vice President of Human Resources, Scott Credit Union’s EEO Officer. I ask that each manager and supervisor join me in full support of the principles of equal opportunity and affirmative action. I invite any applicant or employee to address your concerns and questions to the Vice President of Human Resources.
