Today we are spending time with family members of Veterans. They each have a unique story about how the military has impacted their life. We will hear from the perspective of a spouse, a child, a parent, and a sibling. We will hear about the pride shared for their loved ones, opportunities provided, and the sacrifices made.

Team Patriot is one of our associations ERGS. We are a “community of one" who aspire to serve and honor those who have served our country. Whether it’s installing American flags at each retail location, bringing in veteran speakers, or organizing the 9/11 stair climb events, we’re proud to honor those who currently serve, have served, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

On this episode of The Bridge, we hear from Jessica Fyre, EVP Chief Administrative Officer. This is another episode of our popular series "Ask ELT" where Jessica sits down with us to discuss her role with AgCountry Farm Credit Services, what has helped her in her leadership role, as well as a day in the life of ELT. Listen in to hear about some current focuses, advice she has for young professionals, and what her favorite pizza is!

Advice for teammates that Jessica wishes she had been given earlier in her career… “I have a natural tendency to be a planner. I think early on in my career I kind of set forth and said this is what I want to do in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc. and I think for someone to tell me that it’s ok to plan, but it’s also ok for that plan to not turn out the way you expect.”
