| (Naperville, IL October 29, 2008)
After 23 years of conducting her personal financial matters as an
enthusiastic member of Hawthorne Credit Union in Naperville, longtime
member Pat Price recently accepted another membership position as part
of the popular credit union’s voluntary board of directors. “I’m a big believer in credit unions,” Price said. “I feel like I’m coming home whenever I walk in, and I wanted to offer up my time and services to help the organization that I’ve been a part of for so long.” Price, who is president and founder of her own marketing agency – The Price Group – plans to leverage her financial education and marketing expertise to help diversify Hawthorne’s board. “Given the economic climate in the country these days, I really want to help ensure a sense of confidence in the financial strength of credit unions and use this strength as an opportunity to attract new members,” she said. |

She lives in Naperville with her
husband Don, who is one of the many people she has introduced to the
benefits of credit union membership over the years. “I tell everyone
about the fantastic rates and amazing, personal treatment that I receive
from Hawthorne CU,” she said. “What other businesses do we deal with that
remember your name? It makes you really feel like you’re valued and
that’s rare in today’s world.”
Price holds a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Potsdam, a master’s degree from
the University of Southern California and a Master’s of Business
Administration from Northwestern University in Evanston. Prior to
founding her own company, she worked at Lucent Technologies for 23 years,
most recently serving as the company’s Director of North America Product
Marketing.
In her free time, Price provides volunteer marketing assistance for the
Lupus Foundation of America and is an active member of the Naperville
Chamber of Commerce. She also enjoys spending time with her two adult
children and her granddaughter.
