I spent 13 years working in the credit union system, watching VanCity following their principles while practising innovation, providing good service and paying attention to what matters to their members.
The $12 billion credit union is looking for a director of relationship marketing. Nice job, if you can get it. (Link via Marketing Magazine)
Update: In a comment, Soulfood asks if VanCity is also a venture capital firm. Well, with $12 billion to play with, it’s not surprising they have a "growth capital" arm that provides a mix of loan and equity investment for businesses in B.C. that need cash to get through a phase of growth. For non-profits, co-ops and similar organizations, VanCity Capital will evaluate the financing based on not just the organization;s financial prospects, but also the environmental and community benefits.

For some reason, I thought VanCity was a Venture Capital firm. So, either I’m crazy, or they do have a Venture Capital subsidiary.

I said it once and I’ll say it again, VanCity is an amazing company and I would go for the job if I wasn’t really happy where I’m working right now. Plus, I would have to move from Regina and I wouldn’t see you as often as possible (once every three years). Yikes, let’s Zest more often.

Hey, you better switch your account to a credit union quick, or they’ll never consider you!
It was great Zesting with you, Spamouflage. Let’s not wait three years this time.
