Connect With the Spero Family
Team Spero has been super busy in our communities recently!
💙 We competed in the Anderson University Football Golf Tournament, which raises funds for the football program at AU.
💙 We attended the Women United Luncheon for Literacy hosted by United Way of Pickens County. The event helped raise money for Women United’s early literacy program Preschool Pages.
💙 Our new hires had a great time getting to know Team Spero while volunteering at the Miracle Hill Thrift Store.
💙 We stopped by Mauldin High School’s Career Fair to share information about Spero Financial and what it’s like working for a credit union.
The Annual Meeting will take place this coming Tuesday, April 21st!
Don’t forget to RSVP to attend at spero.financial/annual-meeting (link in bio).
Throughout the year, we celebrate Spero team members who best exemplify two of our organization’s Core Values: The Heart of a Servant and The Mind of a Champion. These awards are presented to employees based on nominations from across Team Spero.
The Heart of a Servant Award is given to someone who is compassionate, humble, empathetic, and selfless. The recipient for Q4 2025 is Kay Donald.
In the award nomination, a peer shared, “Kay always goes above and beyond for our members! Once specific situation that sticks out is when a member`s wife had trouble with walking… Kay walked the paperwork out to the member to avoid the wife having to come into the branch. Her selflessness cannot be measured and her willingness to see others succeed is so refreshing.”
The Mind of a Champion Award is given to a team member who is passionate, coachable, dedicated, accountable, and empowered. The recipient for Q4 2025 is Elliott Roman.
In the award nomination, a colleague wrote, “Elliott is always looking for ways to help members and make their lives easier, whether that means proactively assisting with recurring payments or taking the time to ensure they feel supported and understood. Elliott is also our go-to support for Spanish-speaking members. He never hesitates to step in, even during difficult conversations, and he does so with patience, professionalism, and compassion.”
We’re so thankful for Team Spero’s hard work and dedication to improving the financial lives of our members. 💙
Becoming a Spero member was your first big win – now let’s keep the momentum going! 🏃
Whatever your next move might be, we’re in your corner.
Winning starts here.
