    GESA H I S T O R Y

    Iam excited to tell you we have reached a significant milestone in Gesa’s history. When I arrived at Gesa in 2007, one of the goals agreed upon at my first Strategic Planning Meeting with the Board was to reach $1 billion in assets by 2012 while holding true to our credit union principles of people helping people. Even though the financial report you are holding shows at September 30, 2010, we were at $980 million in assets, by year-end we had exceeded the $1 billion dollar mark. I am happy to say that this growth is the outcome of our popularity with our members and our relevance in our communities.

    Growing over $90 million dollars in calendar year 2010 was an amazing accomplishment for Gesa, considering the still-recovering economic climate. In fact, the steady growth in assets and members through a harsh global economy is affirmation that Gesa is, indeed, where people want to belong.

    One of our goals in 2010 was to continue elevating service levels to our members. We began in 2009 to implement a service training program called Creating Member Loyalty, where we encouraged our staff to focus on your needs. This was, in fact, a culture change that improved consistency across branches and enhanced Gesa’s brand identity. This change not only helped Gesa grow, it offered employees an opportunity to expand their skill set and step up to the challenge of advancement. We want them to consider Gesa a career, not just a job. You have confirmed by your letters and comment cards, which we receive daily, that we are accomplishing the goal of elevating service levels.

    Members will notice another improvement in service in the near future. We began working in 2010 on major system upgrades that will improve efficiency and speed of opening accounts and processing member requests. In addition, a modern telephone system along with our staff capabilities will enhance your experience.

    We know convenient access to your accounts is paramount. That’s why we continue to expand our online capabilities and remote delivery. We intend to make gesa.com your full-service 24/7 web branch. In the upcoming year, look for online account opening, web chat and even text banking from your mobile device.

    The implementation of new products and services are carefully evaluated and thoughtfully considered with our members in mind. One such program, Gesa Financial Solutions investment services, was introduced to meet growing membership need for expertise in financial planning and investing. Many members have already taken advantage of this service.

    Already in 2011 we’ve rolled out Long Term Care Insurance, Lifestyle Loans and new home construction loans—and we won’t stop there! Plans for student accounts and a Platinum Rewards Visa credit card, are also on the horizon.

    You may have also noticed that along with our new branches, our long-standing branches are getting some attention of their own. Branch upgrades and remodels are planned in the coming years. Our new offices are designed in an environmentally friendly fashion with safety, security, and efficiency in mind.

    The decisions we make are based on your financial well-being—that’s the credit union difference. Thank you for your membership. Together we’ve built a strong financial cooperative.

    We’ve become known as a lender of choice as evidenced by our tremendous loan growth of over $160 million in 2010.

Your Board, volunteers and employees at Gesa take great pride in bringing you a renewed banking experience, and we sincerely thank you for your continued support by choosing us as your financial partner.

    In 2010 we reached new heights and found ourselves celebrating momentous milestones. But even as we continue to increase membership and raise your credit union’s assets, you can rest assured we’ll never lose sight of what matters most, our passion to deliver excellent service, being a good steward of our environment, and contributing to the well-being of the communities where we live and do business.

    By closely understanding your needs and remaining relevant to your financial life, here’s how we delivered an “above and beyond” experience at Gesa in 2010.

    “Mystery Shop” Tells All — We constantly strive to provide a remarkable experience, now it’s been affirmed. Last year Gesa employees were put to the test when undercover “shoppers” came in and posed as members or potential members. The results are in, and we’re proud to say service scores reached a new high. Once again, Gesa employees live true to our tagline, “It’s not where you bank. It’s where you belong.”

    Money Protection Increases — We’re pleased to report your Share Insurance Protection has been permanently increased to $250,000 by the NCUA.

    New and Improved Offices — Our contributions to the community were well worth the investment, and we retuned the favor with a newly remodeled branch and two new LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified offices for your banking convenience.

    Introducing... AToM — We gave our ATMs a whole new attitude with AToM, a techno machine who remembers you by name and lets you customize your settings to your delight.

    Recognition is Welcomed — Gesa wins “Best in Show” at the Washington Credit Union League Marketing Spectrum Awards and a “Green Award” from the City of Richland for our efforts to protect the environment by building a LEED® certified office.

    Members Trust Gesa — When it came time to ask for help in financing your dream home or that sweet ride you’ve been eyeing on the road, Gesa was there every step of the way and delivered some remarkable results.

    u718 Real Estate Loans totaling $110.6 million u10,778 Indirect Loans totaling $257.3 million u8,652 Direct Consumer Loans totaling $92.2 million

    Businesses Flock to Venture — Business is good in Gesa country and members responded with an overwhelming interest in our business services.

    uAdded over $13 million in new business deposits uGranted 94 new Member Business Loans totaling $32 million

    Paving the Way for Financial Literacy — Gesa has become a prominent leader with youth financial literacy in Washington. We continue to expand and offer high school students practical hands-on work experience with the addition of 3 new High School Credit Unions (Kennewick, Kamiakin, and Southridge).

    We’re also very active with Junior Achievement and our employees helped raise over $11,500 last year. Having such close ties to students, it seemed only logical to implement a private student loan solution. Through our partner, Student Choice Network, we’ve already approved over $2.4 million in loans.

    Extra, Extra — We launched a new member focused newsletter called Gesa At A Glance to keep you plugged in with Gesa specials and news.

    Even as our business soars, supporting our community is still the most uplifting. Ten years ago, we embarked on a new mission: To enrich high school students with financial literacy through applicable real-life practices. The solution? Establish credit unions on campus that are run by selectively trained students and powered by Gesa.

    Today our high school outreach program has grown tenfold, thanks to the many dedicated students, teachers and Gesa support teams. Gesa supplies equipment, computer systems, and operational knowledge on how to run the branch. With guidance from their teachers and Gesa’s Education Specialist, the students handle teller transactions, new accounts, and plan creative promotions to grow and expand membership.

    In addition to running their branches, students also create ID Theft programs, Getting Ready for College seminars, and other similar programs to help educate their fellow classmates.

    The success of this program lies within the students. We have continued to grow and expand every year, and now Gesa has 7 on-campus branches boasting the most high school credit unions in the State of Washington. Hard work and dedication drives this youth outreach program, one that has become a very rewarding legacy at Gesa.

    Every year we are overwhelmed by the achievements we see in our Scholarship Program applicants. Not only are the students excelling in academics, but carry a sense of pride for enriching their community and succeeding on many school teams and extra curricular groups.

    Gesa has been offering scholarships to college students for more than two decades through colleges and universities throughout the State of Washington. Since 1987, Gesa has awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to deserving local students.

    Recipients of this year’s educational scholarships were honored at Gesa Stadium in Pasco. After the on-field presentation, students and their families were invited to stay for the Dust Devils Baseball game.

    In addition to Gesa’s scholarship program, Private Student Loans are available for members and their families who plan to attend a university, or four year degree-granting program. We understand the importance of seeking a higher education and want to help you pursue your dreams.

    The greatest rewards in life are unlocked by selfless acts. Here at Gesa we take pride in our local communities and charitable partnerships. Gesa is committed to helping Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement through monetary pledges, fundraisers, and volunteer hours. Our dedication to the financial education of our communities is evident by our complimentary financial education seminars.

    With offices in the Tri-Cities, Walla Walla and Wenatchee, Gesa has made a great impact in these communities through participation with Chamber of Commerce events, local expos and fairs, no-cost financial education, community sports teams, such as the Tri-Cities Dust Devils, and the promotion of higher education for our youth.

    Here’s just a few highlights from our volunteer efforts in 2010.

    uFinancial Literacy — We continue to expand our seminar offerings such as Home Buying 101, Women and Money, Raising Money-Smart Kids and more! Nearly 500 members attend our free seminars each year.

    uJunior Achievement — Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing students to succeed in a global economy. Nineteen of our Gesa employees volunteered their time to teach financial lessons in schools for a variety of grade levels, and staff successfully raised funds throughout the year.

    uHabitat for Humanity — Last year we gathered a women’s Gesa team to participate in a special homebuilding program where they teach women how to build homes and make a difference for those less fortunate.

    uBalloon Stampede — Gesa was the Title Sponsor for the Walla Walla Balloon Stampede. The Balloon Stampede is an annual community event that we are proud to be a part of.

    It is the responsibility of the Supervisory Committee of Gesa Credit Union to monitor the financial safety and soundness of the credit union and to oversee compliance with various financial and regulatory requirements.

    In the opinion of the Committee, Gesa Credit Union has conducted business in a fiscally sound manner in accordance with applicable federal regulations and Washington State law relating to credit unions and the Gesa Credit Union bylaws.

    In the process of reaching this opinion, we engaged the services of the independent public accounting firm of Clifton Gunderson LLP. They performed an opinion audit of Gesa Credit Union’s financial statements, as of September 30, 2010. Copies are made available upon request. The firm tests whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, assesses accounting principles used, evaluates the overall financial statement presentation, and reviews internal controls. A key component of the internal control is the internal auditors.

    The internal auditors meet with the Supervisory Committee monthly to review internal audit reports, financial statement trends, information protection status, potential fraud issues, risk assessments, and internal control practices. The Committee also closely monitors the results of the regular state examination.

    The support and cooperation from the Board of Directors, management and staff has assisted us in the performance of our duties and is greatly appreciated. It has been a privilege to serve as chairperson of the Supervisory Committee.

    Respectfully submitted,

    Kimberley Pierret Kimberley Pierret Chairperson
