President's Corner Spring 2026

Q1 2026

Spring always feels like a season of change and momentum, and we have a little bit of both happening at Yolo Federal right now.

First, we recently celebrated the retirement of someone who many of our members know well — Cookie Kinser — after nearly 34 years with the credit union. Cookie has spent her entire career on the front line helping members in our branches, and if you’ve ever worked with her, you know exactly why people trust her so much. She has a calm way of helping members through just about anything. She will absolutely be missed by both our team and the many members who looked forward to seeing her in the branch. Cookie, thank you for nearly three and a half decades of service to our members and community. Enjoy your retirement — you’ve earned it!

We’re also excited to see great progress at our new Natomas branch, which is scheduled to open later this summer. Construction is moving along nicely, and we’re looking forward to expanding our presence in the Sacramento region and welcoming new members into the Yolo Federal Credit Union family.

And of course, our team continues working every day to provide helpful financial options for our members. Right now, members may want to take a look at our Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), which currently offers a fixed introductory rate for the first six months paired with an awesome cash back offer. It can be a useful option for home projects, consolidating higher-rate debt, or simply creating a little financial flexibility.

For members focused on growing their savings, we’re also offering a promotional Certificate of Deposit rate of 3.67%, which may be a good opportunity to lock in a competitive return.

As always, thank you for being part of Yolo Federal. We’re grateful for the trust you place in us and proud to serve this incredible community.

Jenee Rawlings, President/CEO
