What perception do you hope to leave?” asks Sara Elerman, Regional VP at Members 1st Federal Credit Union, as she joins Anne & Anne to share her leadership journey.

Guided by mentors and fueled by a willingness to be coachable, the feedback she received, she says, “transformed my life, and my family’s.”
