Karol Griffin, Executive Director of the TCU Foundation, emphasized the importance of educational support. “The TCU Foundation primarily focuses on providing greater access to educational advancement for students who are clearly dedicated to furthering their academic careers,” said Griffin. “Any time that we are able to remove certain financial hurdles that might hinder a leader of tomorrow, then that is something we can be proud of.

A library resource center at Walnut Elementary funded by TCU was completed in March 2013. This new resource will help teachers and students at the Walnut Elementary by providing a centralized location for reading resources, as well as a tracking system to improve efficiency.
The new resource area, dubbed the TCU Leveled Reader Library, provides thousands of books categorized by reading level. These books are fully accessible to teachers at any time, allowing teachers to assign reading to multiple levels of ability within one classroom.
Amy Wells, Manager of the Crawfordsville TCU branch, helped arrange the partnership. “As an organization, we believe strongly in being a good corporate citizen by supporting the needs of our communities,” said Wells. “Walnut Elementary is a great school with strong educators who truly care about their student’s futures, and if we can help that effort in any way, then it is worth every penny.”
Darren Haas, Principal at Walnut Elementary, expressed his enthusiasm for the project. “We have worked very hard to add to the resources our school has to offer, which is not always easy to do in a tough economy,” said Haas. “Having a partner like TCU allows us to focus on our jobs as educators, which is to give these kids the best learning experience possible to prepare them to be the future leaders of our community.”

January, 2013
Beginning January 27, 2013, Visa® and MasterCard® will allow merchants to pass along their payment processing costs to consumers who pay with a credit card. This would mean that a merchant who chooses to exercise this new right could impose a surcharge, sometimes referred to as a “checkout fee,” that could increase your credit card purchase amount by as much as 4% (maximum allowed).
Under the settlement:
• The surcharge cannot exceed the amount that the merchant actually pays to accept credit cards – normally between 1.5% and 3% of the transaction amount.
• Surcharges can only be imposed on credit card transactions only, not on purchases made with debit cards or prepaid cards.
• Merchants must disclose the credit card surcharge clearly – at the store entrance and the point of sale or on the homepage if the merchant does business on the Internet.
• The disclosure must include the amount of the surcharge, the fact that the fee is being charged by the merchant, and that the fee does not exceed the merchant’s cost to accept credit cards.
• The dollar amount of the surcharge must appear on the transaction receipt.
Merchants are not allowed to impose a credit card surcharge in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, or Texas, where such fees are prohibited under state law.

South Bend, Indiana 2012Inside Indiana Business Release December 20, 2012
Mayor Pete Buttigieg announced today that the City of South Bend has been selected as one of nine communities in the United States to participate in the Code for America Fellowship Program in 2013. The other communities are: Kansas City, Las Vegas, Louisville, Oakland, San Francisco, San Mateo County, Calif., Summit County, Ohio (Akron), and New York City.
Through the fellowship program, which is aimed at helping local governments foster technology innovation, developers and designers will be partnered with various departments to collaborate with city leaders to address problems or areas for improvement in local government services and practices. Three Code for America fellows will be assigned to the City of South Bend and start next month.
"This is an exciting announcement for the City of South Bend," said Mayor Pete Buttigieg. "We've made a concerted effort to become a more innovative and technologically creative city. Good government starts with being a smarter and more efficient operation. As a Code for America 2013 partner, we are putting South Bend in high gear as we strive to better serve the people of our community."
The partnership was made possible with the support and collaboration of the City of South Bend, the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County, Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, AT&T, Memorial Hospital, Teachers Credit Union Foundation, and 1st Source Bank.
Founded in 2009, Code for America held its inaugural fellowship in 2011. In 2012, Code for America has connected 26 fellows with eight cities across the country. Through the Accelerator program, Code for America supports civic startups, and through the Brigade program, Code for America encourages civic participation by organizing local groups of civic technologists to take action in their communities.
"We are very excited to officially announce our partnership with South Bend," said Code for America founder and Executive Director Jennifer Pahlka. "South Bend is a leader in the innovation world, and our fellows will have the chance to be at the forefront of that innovation. With the support of such forward-thinking and dedicated city staff, we look forward to continuing to build long-lasting partnerships with the City."
Announcing the program at Innovation Park at Notre Dame, Mayor Buttigieg explained the Code for America program to community leaders and partners through some of their innovations in other cities. Mayor Buttigieg walked through BlightStatus.org, which was created in New Orleans, and allows residents to simply find out what’s going on with blighted properties in their community. This website eliminates the long process it can take for a resident to figure the status and future of a vacant or abandoned property.
The announcement today caps an outstanding year in technology achievements for the City of South Bend. In 2012, the city launched its new voice-over IP phone system and upgraded its e-mail system for the first time. In addition, South Bend is developing IBM’s Intelligent Operations Center for Smarter Cities software to overhaul its water management system. And, its revamped website won an Honorable Mention in the international MARCOM Awards recently.
In addition to being the event sponsor, TCU team members from area branches assisted in the competition by being judges of overall execution and success.
South Bend, Indiana October, 2012By GENE STOWESouth Bend Tribune Correspondent
Paul Marsh, who started at Teachers Credit Union as an accounting intern while he was at Indiana University South Bend more than 20 years ago, and is now president and CEO, has overseen a banner year of growth since his smooth transition to president more than a year ago.
Accumulating frustration with the big national banks that triggered the economic downturn has accelerated a switch to more local institutions, especially credit unions, he says.
“Our membership grew about 9 percent annualized,” Marsh says. “The industry grew an annualized 5 percent. I had to go all the way back into the mid-’80s for that type of growth.
“We have seen a significant amount of growth in people frustrated with banks. Banks use people to make money. We use money to help people. It’s just a different perspective.”
Marsh, an Edwardsburg native who has spent his whole career at TCU, reflects the deep community connections that develop a strong culture among associates and attract more members.
His first job was as a staff accountant working on reconciliations, and he worked in several positions on the financial side, gaining experience in internal audit, finance, cost accounting, strategic planning and asset liability management.
By the mid-1990s, he had worked his way up to controller.
“I worked hard and loved new challenges,” Marsh says. “Opportunities would present themselves and I would step up to the challenges.”
After five years, TCU President Rick Rice asked him to go to the marketing department, a move to the other side of the brain.
“I thought ‘Rick, CPA doesn’t stand for marketing,’” Marsh recalls, but the next day he accepted the change. “If I can’t sell the credit union, maybe I should be let go. I took over our marketing department and did that for about five years and absolutely loved it. I used the other side of my brain, the creative.”
As Rice began planning for retirement and preparing for transition, Marsh took over managing the more than 40 branches with 380 team members.
“It gave me a full understanding of what we do and what makes a difference serving the members,” says Marsh, who kept that job for five years and became president in June 2011.
“Rick was a big part of the transition and bent over backwards to make it successful. He built a great culture of member service that we can build on.
“The board has been great to work for and work with. We have good rapport. The management team and the rest of the staff have been tremendous as well. I’ve worked with a lot of them through the years.”

South Bend, Indiana August, 2012 Teachers Credit Union's TCU Member Call Center has been certified as a "Center of Excellence" by BenchmarkPortal for the second year in a row.
Becky Summers, SVP of sales and marketing for the $2.2-billion credit union, said the BenchmarkPortal ratings look at several measurable factors, including experience of the members. This includes call wait time, abandonment rate and first call resolution.
"One of biggest positives we had was first call resolution," she said. "When members called the reps resolved the problem a high percentage of the time, meaning members did not have to call back." Summers said the call center also earned high marks for employee engagement, which she said was no accident.
"BenchmarkPortal asked our employees how satisfied they are and we got high marks there, too," she said. "We do a lot of training on three fronts: One, soft skills, including 'smiling' on the phone and giving a warm greeting. Two, products and services. The reps know the ins and outs of how things work on a functional level. And three, technical skills, they know how to find information on our core system for the members and do so quickly."
'Special' People Needed. According to Summers, in addition to the emphasis on training, the employees at TCU's call center are "very motivated" to serve its members every day. She said it takes a "special person" to take call after call, and the credit union prides itself on finding people who can handle the stress.
"Sometimes members who call in are happy and other times they are not, and it can be draining," she said. "We start with extensive interviewing and do so over the phone because that is how they are going to do business."
TCU also conducts some face-to-face interviews before hiring a new call center rep, she continued, but what management really wants to know is how the candidates handle themselves over the phone. A final factor is writing skills, because as reps become more advanced they handle e-mail communications, as well.
Why is the TCU call center so successful? Summers said the environment is a "positive one" that allows the reps to get the support they need. The supervisors are in the same space, which allows them to help the reps with a tough call. The reps have wireless headsets that allow them to move around, which Summers noted breaks up the monotony of sitting in one place while handling call after call.
No Outsourcing. Many CUs have chosen to outsource the call center function, but Summers said TCU-which is the largest credit union in Indiana-made a decision to maintain control.
"Given the skills of our reps, we wanted to serve the members ourselves," she explained. "We use outside call center support for certain things, such as reporting fraud on a credit or debit card, but in general we want to serve our members directly."
TCU's relationship with BenchmarkPortal began simply because the credit union was looking for a way to measure its success and investigate best practices for its call center. Summers said the CU was referred to BenchmarkPortal, which synthesizes data "so we can compare to our peers."
"We just wanted to get better at what we do, and the award side is just a bonus," said Summers.
BenchmarkPortal describes itself as the custodian of the Center for Customer-Driven Quality's database of contact center metrics, the largest in the world, founded in 1995 by Dr. Jon Anton at Purdue University. BenchmarkPortal is involved in call center benchmarking, call center industry reports, call center training and call center certification worldwide.

Credit Union Journal | Monday, August 13, 2012 By Michael Bartlett
Indianapolis, Indiana July, 2012 Saturday May 19th, was declared as “Lemonade Day” by Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, Lemonade Day 2012 and 15,000 budding entrepreneurs opened up for business in local parks, shopping malls, supermarkets and in their front yards. The weather was hot and sunny, ideal for starting a lemonade business. These budding entrepreneurs, pre-school to high school, turned a profit and learned valuable entrepreneurial skills and life lessons in the process.
This year, based on results surveys returned from families, a record 15,000 Lemonade Day participants raised an estimated $2.4 million and donated more than an estimated $800,000 to charity. As per the months of training prior to the event, the kids are encouraged to “spend a little” for themselves, “save a little” in the bank, and “share a little” with charities of their own choosing.
Championed by local inventor and entrepreneur Scott Jones, and presented by Teachers Credit Union (TCU), Lemonade Day is a free Greater Indianapolis Area initiative designed to teach children how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand. Jones launched Lemonade Day in 2010 and set a national Lemonade Day record for the largest number of participants in a city’s first year: 7,400. Last year, 10,000 kids participated. Mayor Ballard and Governor Daniels have been great supporters since Lemonade Day’s inception. This year, the day before Lemonade Day, several kids were invited by Governor Daniels to set up lemonade stands on the Statehouse lawn to raise money for charity and to remind people to stop at a lemonade stand on Lemonade Day.
“When you think about the revenues these kids are generating in a single day, over $2.4 million, it’s incredible. To give this some perspective, Apple earns $1.6 million a day from its App Store,” said Jones. “What’s more, these kids are learning that they can be both entrepreneurs and philanthropists. I’m very proud of the fact that they donated over $800,000 to charities of their choosing, rivaling one of Indiana’s largest black-tie fundraisers, Zoobilation. We’re not only inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs but also the next generation of philanthropists.”
“I’m so incredibly proud of these kids – donating one-third of their sales to charity tells you something about the spirit of these kids and their parents,” said Mayor Ballard. “I can’t wait to see the talents these young entrepreneurs bring to Indianapolis in years to come.”
