From small things, big things grow.  Like a seed that turns into a giant redwood, the little choices we make and small steps we take have a larger impact.  The minor things many take for granted are the foundation of something greater and, dare I say, very important for how we build a team, a credit union, and a community.  By helping each other, encouraging each other, and supporting each other through good times and bad we build, we grow, we get stronger.  The key term, of course, is we.  What we build is a culmination of many people, ideas, skills, backgrounds and so on.  We build Freedom together but also with our community and our members.  Even though the saying is “if you build it, they will come”, I believe it’s more:

If you build it, they may come.  If you build it with them, they’re already here.
