Todd Martin moving on
Todd Martin, who
25 years ago became a chaplain there, is retiring Friday as director of pastoral
care at Southwest Washington Medical Center. A farewell reception, which
includes cake, is scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24.
Martin, a Stanford-trained engineer and self-taught bon
vivant, is a Presbyterian minister. He received his theological training at San
Francisco Theological Seminary.
Martin became director of pastoral care at the medical
center in 1990 and has since expanded the pastoral care program to include seven
chaplains, serving Hospice and the medical center campus. He is a former chair
of the center’s Ethics Committee. He has been a member of the New Employees
Orientation, Physician’s Wellness, and Circle of Excellence Selection
Committees. Martin was also a member of the Family Medicine Residency Program.
Active in community affairs, Martin is a Vancouver
Rotarian and is a member of the Vancouver-Clark County Telecommunications
Commission.
Merger to boost iQ Credit Union growth
Clark County’s second largest credit union, iQ, today
announced plans to merge with one the county’s smallest, City Employees of Clark
County Federal Credit Union, in April.
Combined under the leadership of iQ, the credit union
would serve 37,500 members and would have assets of over $306 million, according
to iQ CEO/president Roger Michaelis. The
new credit union will have eight full-service branches and 24 locally owned
automatic teller machines.
Regulatory approval has been given, but final approval of
the merger will be determined when members of the smaller institution vote at
their annual meeting on March 18.
All 13 of the city credit union employees have been asked
to remain, either at the their downtown branch or move to the iQ branch at
Vancouver Mall. The nearby city employee’s branch at the mall will be closed.
Michaelis says that both credit unions have a long
history of serving public employees in Clark County. iQ was established in 1940
as Clark County School Employees Credit Union. The smaller credit union was
established in 1954. Anyone who lives or works in Washington is eligible to join
the credit union.
