Proclaimed in 1990, November is Native American Heritage Month and we encourage staff to learn more about its history and cultural significance.

Cycling has and continues to grow as an important mode of transportation in our city and throughout the Pacific Northwest. As Seattle traffic increases and public transportation options expand, the opportunity to utilize bike lanes has made it easier than ever to make cycling a part of a healthy lifestyle.

There are many opportunities for professional and community development in the credit union world. Here at Aquila Standard, our leadership regularly participates in these opportunities, so that we remain engaged with and committed to the communities we serve.

Like other dynamic cities around the world, Seattle thrives on the passion and ambition of a diverse population. As Seattle booms, people from all over the world continue to move here, seeding their dreams in a region ripe with opportunity. However one defines prosperity, the Pacific Northwest provides a path to it. For Aquila Standard member Musa, his journey to prosperity included achieving U.S. Citizenship.

Musa fled his home country of Liberia, on the western coast of Africa, in 2001. At that time, Liberia was ten years into a civil war that would last another four. He knew he needed to leave. Musa landed in Boston and then relocated to Seattle about a year later after his cousin, Sidiki, invited Musa this way. His family joined him later.
