Redding, CA – After three decades of service, Members 1st Credit Union bids farewell to Ed Niederberger as he retires from his position on the Board of Directors. Mr. Niederberger, a dedicated volunteer for 30 years, has been an integral part of the credit union's governance structure since 1994 when he joined the Board of Directors of the California State Employees Credit Union No. 13.

Throughout his tenure, Mr. Niederberger has been an active member of the Personnel and Nominating Committees, recruiting candidates to strengthen the credit union's board and leadership and contributing to the credit union's strategic success. In his 30 years of service, Mr. Niederberger served multiple terms as 1st Vice Chair or 2nd Vice Chair and had the honor of serving as interim Chairman following Ricki McClure's retirement from the board in 2023.

Mr. Niederberger brought a wealth of experience to his role, having retired from the Shasta County Sheriff's Department after a distinguished career. His extensive knowledge of law enforcement and deep-rooted ties to the Shasta County Courthouse was an invaluable asset. He helped establish relationships and shared protocols and procedures from the courthouse with the credit union's asset recovery department, giving them the tools they needed to help members navigate the legal landscape.

"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ed Niederberger for his outstanding service and unwavering dedication to Members 1st Credit Union," said Caroline Redmann, President and CEO of Members 1st Credit Union. "His contributions to the credit union and staff have left a lasting impact. Ed's leadership and influence have been instrumental in shaping the culture of our board. We deeply appreciate his commitment to the credit union and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement."

In his retirement, Mr. Niederberger looks forward to indulging in his passions, which include working on classic cars and flying his plane, a Cherokee 235. While he'll be spending his days pursuing these hobbies in Idaho, his extended family remains in the North State, ensuring he'll still be an active presence in the community he has called home since 1975.

Please join us in extending best wishes to Ed Niederberger as he embarks on this new chapter of his life.
