Heather Summers, LBSFCU Senior VP of Marketing and longtime member of the LBCC Foundation Board of Governors shares, “Being a member of the President’s Circle keeps LBS Financial engaged with LBCC, supporting students, faculty, staff, and community.  Participating in the President’s Circle is a great way to help make a difference in the greater good of Long Beach, furthering education and lifting up the greater Long Beach community.”

LBS Financial started under the original name of Long Beach School District Employees Federal Credit Union in 1935. LBUSD and LBCC employees applied for a credit union charter and pooled their money together to create affordable banking services specifically for school and college employees. The Credit Union’s first office was run out of a classroom at Wilson High School. Today, LBS Financial Credit Union continues to make school and college employees a focus and also has expanded to be able to serve students and the entire community as their members.  LBS Financial has grown to nearly 250 employees and 8 local branches. Many very talented Credit Union employees are currently enrolled or have graduated from LBCC, so being involved in supporting the college benefits LBS Financial in many ways.

Many thanks to Heather and Jeff Napper, LBSFCU President, and CEO, for their longstanding partnership with Long Beach City College Foundation. We couldn’t do the good work we do without partners like you.
