Ann Arbor’s Advisory Committee is very dedicated to improve the success of PARDA Federal Credit Union for the benefit of the membership. They are the eyes and ears of the Ann Arbor site. I appreciate all their hard work and time they give from their busy schedules to help the Ann Arbor branch and their fellow colleagues to make PARDA the best we can be.

Paul Hiler When I was asked to serve on the Advisory Board and I gladly accepted because in my 20 plus years as a PARDA member, PARDA has helped me buy homes, got me the best interest rates on my car loans, provided home equity options and PARDA even helped me through personal credit issues when I had problems. PARDA has been more like a partner to me rather than a business whose services I utilize. That is why I serve on the Advisory Committee.

We would like you to meet our elite team of Advisory Committee Members.
Diana Outzen, Branch Manager
Martha Beaman I joined PARDA in 1989 and have been a PARDA Advisory Board Member since Cadbury Adams inception at the Rockford plant. I also served through Pfizer’s buy-out and during the latter Warner-Lambert days. I enjoy serving on the Advisory Board because I feel PARDA is a wonderful benefit for the Rockford colleagues and I want to make sure it stays on-site. PARDA is very convenient. I like the fact that I do not have to drive anywhere to do my bank-type business transactions; I can just go to work and get everything done there.
Robert Cowen I have been with Cadbury Adams for 21 years starting as a supervisor. I am currently the Senior Electrical Engineer of Power and automation-New project and Communication systems. I am a big supporter of PARDA. I believe in credit unions. PARDA is a great benefit to the employee, which is a benefit to the company.
Sylvia Sledge-McIntosh I have been with Cadbury Adams for 24 years and I am a Team Leader in Pellet packaging. I enjoy being on the PARDA Advisory Board, so that I could get more insight on what is going on with PARDA and communicate it to the colleagues and others. The reason that I decided to be on the Board was that the colleagues and I had questions about the types of services, ATM locations and the membership. I can also give more detailed information about PARDA to the colleagues.
