The president of the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce joins us on this week's episode of Tell me it's Friday to answer those questions and more about staying relevant with our ever-changing community and business needs!

Joining us on today's episode of Tell me it's Friday is Maria Moore, Advocacy Engagement Officer for the Michigan Credit Union League.

She and many others have long served as a booming voice for Michigan credit unions through advocacy efforts in both Lansing and Washington D.C.. But, what exactly are they shouting about?

It's summer. Everyone is outside enjoying the nice weather, which is why spending time indoors doing things like donating blood may be the last thing on anyone's mind!

That's all according to Heidi Robinson, who joins us from Versiti Blood Center of Michigan, for this week's episode of Tell me it's Friday!

Listen now for more on how you can get involved to donate or host your own blood drive in your community!

But don't take our word for it. Listen in and get the full scoop on why they say their businesses are flourishing and how 4Front's VP of Commercial Lending, Geoff Streit, has helped in both their entrepreneurial journeys.

There's been some recent chatter about the makeovers that some of our 4Front branches are receiving as we move to equip them with VideoTellers!
