Members First Credit Union Named One of Michigan’s Best Places to Work

MIDLAND, Michigan — Members First Credit Union (M1) has been named one of Michigan’s Best Places to Work by Crain’s Detroit Business, recognizing M1 as one of the state’s top employers.

For Members First, recognition reflects the people and culture that make M1 a place where employees can grow, feel supported and find purpose in their work.

Team members at Members First highlighted opportunities for growth, flexibility, connection and a strong sense of belonging as key parts of the M1 experience. Together, these elements help create a workplace where employees can build meaningful careers while making a difference in the communities they call home.

“Being named one of the Best Places to Work in Michigan is a reflection of the incredible people who make Members First what it is,” said Carrie Iafrate, President and CEO of Members First Credit Union. “We want our team members to know they matter, that their work has purpose and that they have a place to grow. When our people are thriving, that joy carries through to our members and communities, too. We are honored to be recognized by Crain’s Detroit Business!”

The Best Places to Work in Michigan program recognizes employers that create strong workplace experiences. Honorees are chosen based on two factors: information provided by employers about their workplace practices, programs, and benefits, and feedback from employees about their experience, engagement, and satisfaction. These results determine each year’s honorees and rankings.

The recognition comes as Members First celebrates 90 years of serving Michigan. Founded in 1936 as a teachers’ credit union, M1 has grown alongside the communities it serves while creating a culture where team members can find joy and purpose in their everyday work.

Crain’s Detroit Business’s Best Places to Work in Michigan program recognizes employers across the state for creating strong employee experiences and workplace cultures.
