Branding Strategy<br />
Brand Image:<br />
Brand image is the make up of all experiences and impressions our members have with our brand. This includes<br />
all interactions at our branches, on the phone or on the Web, as well as any contact with our sales tools and<br />
communications. The more concise, constant and consistent we are with our brand image at all levels of the<br />
organization, the stronger our brand image.<br />
Brand Story:<br />
We don’t just “quote” our mission; we act on it every day. We have a proven record for empowering our<br />
members through financial literacy workshops, newsletters, partnerships within the communities and SEGs.<br />
We have offered Special Member Dividends to our members just because they chose to do business with us.<br />
Brand Promise:<br />
Pelican State Credit Union’s brand promise is to maintain an enhanced product line, hands-on educational<br />
workshops, sophisticated technology and the resources and tools our members need to succeed financially and<br />
enjoy a better and healthier lifestyle.<br />
“Your brand is the tangible component of your company that gives<br />
members a compelling reason to do business with you,<br />
instead of the competition - it’s your promise to your members.”<br />
-Author Unknown<br />

Message from the Board Chair<br />
Linda Brassette<br />
Chairman of the Board<br />
The year 2008 was one of growth and achievement for our credit union.<br />
Early in the year, the Board of Directors and Management Team met to<br />
review the Strategic Plan and continue the development of our governance<br />
policies, thus mapping our 2008 course and direction. As the year<br />
progressed, the economy declined monthly, which negatively impacted our<br />
membership and placed new financial demands upon us. Gas prices, layoffs<br />
and general economic downturns resulted in increased delinquency.<br />
Additional funding was required for loan reserves based upon our projected<br />
future loan losses. The direct impact of all these items was an increase in<br />
expenses, which was unanticipated and unbudgeted.<br />
Despite these negative impacts and the growth of a difficult economic<br />
climate, we fulfilled our commitments to provide members with the best<br />
possible products, services and interest rates for both loans and<br />
deposits. Staying the course presented in our Strategic Plan, the<br />
Management Team worked diligently to overcome the additional financial<br />
impacts to our budget. Thus, at the October meeting of the Board of<br />
Directors, the Board unanimously declared a Special Member Dividend of<br />
$125,000 to be paid back to our membership.<br />
Thanks to all the volunteers who gave so freely of their time and talents to serve Pelican State Credit Union. I appreciate the many hours<br />
you selflessly gave and the incredible gift of knowledge you brought. I have enjoyed working with each of you this past year. It has been<br />
my privilege to serve the membership of Pelican State Credit Union and I wish it continued success.<br />
In Loving Memory of:<br />
Gary S. Grand<br />

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Pelican State Credit Union extends her or his personal appreciation for a<br />
job well done and for the leadership that Gary S. Grand and George E. Bostick have exhibited throughout their<br />
years of service to the Credit Union, and extends to their families, the condolences of a Board which will be<br />
forever grateful and appreciative for leaders who contributed so much to the success of the Credit Union.<br />

Message from the Chief Executive<br />
The year started out as normal, but as summer approached we knew we had<br />
some difficult challenges facing the management team and staff. Our<br />
objective, as always, is to focus on our mission statement and bring it home to<br />
our members with higher levels of member service and better rates on loans and<br />
deposits. The Board of Directors provided their guidance through our strategic<br />
plan. Executing the plan in the ailing economy was management’s challenge.<br />
Delinquency and charge off trends both escalated, diminishing our loan returns<br />
and increasing expenses.<br />
Our “Brand” was already established and recognized by our membership based<br />
upon our history of success in service delivery, community participation,<br />
borrowing opportunities and the return of higher than average dividends. We<br />
rolled out a staff campaign to all 130 employees titled, “Mission 08: Possible”.<br />
Our objective was to generate momentum and excitement among the staff<br />
which would deliver the mission statement as promised, despite any negative<br />
economic factors. We embraced and recognized the need for change when<br />
Jeffrey K. Conrad<br />
solutions were not working. We met monthly to modify strategies, analyze<br />
trends and determine the best course of action.<br />
Chief Executive Officer<br />
We also created an employee committee named the Beak Squad. The Beak Squad became the voice of all employees, to share ideas and thoughts on how<br />
to better serve our members. Some of the best ideas often come straight from the member-employee interaction. We realize that it takes every employee<br />
at Pelican, working as a Team to deliver the service our members have come to expect and which created our brand.<br />
I am proud to state that we excelled at reaching our goals in our campaign. The Mission 08: Possible was successful despite unplanned economic<br />
impacts. The reason we were successful is because of YOU. Our success and vision depends upon our members. It is through the active usage of<br />
products and services that our members keep the credit union alive, prosperous and growing. Our mission is to improve all of our member’s financial<br />
condition…not just a few stockholders. With over 150 million in assets, 8 branches, 12 ATMs and over 28,000 members, our focus and vision remains to<br />
be “Your Credit Union of Choice.”<br />
Credit Union National<br />
Association (CUNA) Awards:<br />
The Mission 08: Possible Internal Campaign won<br />
Pelican a National Merit Marketing Award.<br />
