Wine and Dime Episode 38 - How can we "ServU" with Nancy Williamson

Nancy Williamson

In this episode of Wine and Dime I chat with Nancy Williamson. We chat about the procees of buying a car and some of the things you can do to get the best deal. It was a very informative episode and I think you will find her expertise valuable the next time you go buy that shiny new red car!

Nancy became CEO for ServU Credit Union at the age of 25 and has worked at the credit union for more than 40 years. She started at the credit union in 1973 when the credit union’s assets totaled $500,000 with two part-time employees. Today ServU has greater than $265 million in assets with 108 employees and seven branch offices.

With her “free” time, Nancy volunteers for the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Program of the IRS), preparing income tax for low/medium income families annually. She has been actively involved in numerous speaking engagements across the state informing the public on financial protection and fraud prevention. She has also served on a number of nonprofit boards, including Family Services Society of Corning and the Corning Community College Development Foundation.

Nancy is married to Paul and has two sons, Mark and Scott. She will say she is known to have held many titles: CEO, treasurer, volunteer, speaker, friend, wife, mother... with her most cherished title that of “Grandma.”

About

ServU Federal Credit Union is a full service financial alternative to a bank. As a member owned financial cooperative, credit unions are not-for-profit. They function to serve their membership. As a result, credit unions are able to pay back higher dividends on savings and charge lower interest on loans. Money that is made by the credit union after overhead is returned to the members as dividends and other financial services. The Credit Union is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors. These Board members are elected each year by the credit union membership.

Today over 35,000 people in Steuben, Schuyler, Yates and Allegany counties enjoy the benefits of ServU Credit Union membership. We invite you to join these members today - see how you can join!

Amy Irvine

As a kid, I always liked numbers. I would spend hours creating math problems and solutions. Whenever I wanted to play math teacher, my brother was forced to be my student! Given my love of facts and figures, it’s really no surprise that I chose a career where I work with numbers.

I believe that you can use your dollars and cents to create and live a meaningful life unique to your own dreams and desires. I started Rooted Planning Group because I wanted to offer financial PLANNING services. Our profession has a tendency to focus on “assets under management,” but I wanted to focus on the journey of your life (what I refer to in the podcast as your financial “vineyard”). I truly believe that, like wine, life and finances have different palettes that should be celebrated and not judged.

My journey as a business owner was not a direct path; it’s more of a long and winding road. Over the course of the past 30 years, I’ve worked in various financial services positions, but I’m most proud of the ensemble of women that I’ve brought together at Rooted Planning Group.

I am the author of Uncork Your Finances and the podcast host of Money Roots.

I also co-founded the Southern Tier Women's Financial Conference in 2014, an annual event dedicated to collaboration, networking, and financial education for women.
