Headquartered in North Augusta, SC, SRP FCU has established itself as a cornerstone of the region's financial landscape, providing a comprehensive range of financial products and services to individuals, families, and businesses across its service area. As a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative, SRP FCU prioritizes the financial well-being of its members, reinvesting profits back into the organization through better rates, lower fees, and enhanced services. The credit union's history is rooted in serving specific communities or employee groups, fostering a strong sense of belonging and personalized financial solutions. Over time, SRP FCU has grown and evolved, expanding its reach and offerings while maintaining its core values of member service and community involvement. Its $1.7 billion asset size places it among the larger credit unions in the state, signifying its significant impact on the local economy and the financial lives of its members. This scale allows SRP FCU to offer competitive products, invest in technology and infrastructure, and support community development initiatives. At the helm of this robust organization is Liz Ponder, a trailblazing leader who has made history as the first African-American CEO of a credit union in the South. Her appointment marks a pivotal moment for both SRP Federal Credit Union and the broader financial industry in the region. In a sector where leadership has historically lacked diversity, Ponder's ascent to the CEO position represents a significant step towards greater inclusivity and representation at the highest levels. Ponder's role as CEO encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including: Strategic Leadership: Charting the future course of SRP FCU, setting strategic goals, and ensuring the organization remains competitive and relevant in a dynamic financial environment. Financial Oversight: Managing the credit union's substantial assets, ensuring financial stability, and making sound fiscal decisions that benefit the members. Operational Management: Overseeing the day-to-day operations of the credit union, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and the delivery of high-quality services across all branches and digital platforms.

Community Engagement: Fostering strong relationships with the communities SRP FCU serves, supporting local initiatives, and promoting financial literacy and well-being. Cultivating Organizational Culture: Leading and inspiring a team of employees, fostering a positive and inclusive work environment that prioritizes member service and collaboration. As the first African-American CEO of a credit union of this size and stature in the South, Liz Ponder carries a profound significance that extends beyond the operational aspects of her role. Her leadership serves as: A Beacon of Progress: It signifies a tangible step forward in breaking down racial barriers within the financial industry in a region with a complex history. Her presence demonstrates that leadership opportunities are becoming more accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds. An Inspiration for Future Leaders: Ponder's achievement serves as a powerful role model for aspiring African-American professionals and other underrepresented groups in finance, showing them that executive leadership is within reach. A Catalyst for Change: Her leadership has the potential to influence the culture and practices within SRP FCU and potentially inspire other financial institutions in the South to prioritize diversity and inclusion in their own leadership ranks. A Voice for Inclusivity: Ponder's unique perspective and experiences can inform the credit union's approach to serving its diverse membership, ensuring that its products and services are equitable and meet the needs of all community members. SRP Federal Credit Union is a vital financial institution in South Carolina with a substantial asset base and a commitment to its members. Liz Ponder's leadership as the first African-American CEO of a credit union of this size in the South is a landmark achievement. It not only highlights her exceptional capabilities but also signifies a crucial step towards a more diverse and inclusive financial landscape in the region, offering inspiration and paving the way for future generations of leaders.

As a bulwark against the flood of propaganda and misinformation coming from China and Russia, the United States Agency for Global Media is a global beacon of American freedom and democracy, reaching nearly 500 million listeners every day. Two of the six entities underneath USAGM are Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. While a March executive order by President Donald Trump to dismantle them has been reversed by the courts, their continued existence is uncertain as Republicans hammer out a new budget that aims to deliver on the president's agenda. Why should Americans care? Japhet Quitzon, an associate fellow at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, joins The Excerpt to talk about the agency's historic role in spreading American culture and values.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For many Catholic teens, the Sacrament of Confirmation is perceived as a rite of passage as they grow up in the Church. However, as many dioceses across the United States lower the age at which children receive the Sacrament — most recently, in January, the Archdiocese of Baltimore lowered the age to 9 — this understanding is slowly beginning to shift. Deacon Harold opens this up more today and breaks open Soulful Psalm 71:18

Saint John Paul II's legacy is monumental, inside and outside the Catholic Church — one of the reasons why many think he should be officially named John Paul “the Great,” alongside Leo the Great (440-461), Gregory the Great (590-604) and Nicholas the Great (850-867). He was great, even outside the Church, because of his role in international affairs — helping catalyze the collapse of Soviet communism, resisting efforts by worldly superpowers to impose international human rights abuses, and giving hope and courage to suffering peoples everywhere. He visited 129 countries, traveling more than 700,000 miles — more than all of his predecessors combined and nearly three times the distance of a round trip to the moon.

I had the privilege of sitting down with sculptor Nathan Pratt, the visionary artist behind the monumental 77-foot-tall statue of aviation pioneer Wiley Post, soon to be unveiled in Edmond, Oklahoma. In our conversation, Nathan shares the deeper meaning behind his work, the legacy he hopes to honor, and the driving force behind his passion as an artist.
