The Board approved the application for membership for Michael Flesher. Michael was SR Vice President & Corporate Secretary, Farm Credit Bank, now retired. Michael states "I am a native of Lincoln, NE and the oldest of three. Now retired, I spent the first 15 years of my working acer as a broadcast journalist, and the remining 30 years as a senior executive with America's largest bank committed to serving rural America and agriculture. Given my broadcast news background, I am a news and current events junkie with dep interest in government , finance and economics and our country's short history."
"I believe my working careers exemplify the Four-Way Test. A journalist must approach every story with : is it the truth, is it fair to both sides, will the facts bring value (goodwill), and will they be beneficial to the public. Likewise, in lending money the integrity of the institution rests on the same principals; are we truthful, are we making lending decisions fair to both parties, does the lending decision bring adequate value vs. risk to the applicant, and will the lending relationship be beneficial?"
"I look forward to becoming a RCFC Member to continue the application of these tenets in service to the Club and Community."
