   Why "We Get It" Matters in LaGrange County: A Conversation with Interra CEO Amy Sink

   On this episode of Chamber Chat, we sit down with Amy Sink, CEO of Interra Credit Union, to talk about her path to leading one of the region’s major financial institutions — and what “member-owned” actually means for the people and businesses of LaGrange County. Amy takes us behind the curtain of a job most people only see from the teller line: the myths about credit unions she’d love to retire, how banking habits have shifted over her career, and what it really takes for a small business owner to build something that lasts. We also dig into how Interra shows up for local nonprofits and community partners, and an initiative happening right now that more LaGrange County residents should know about. Plus, a lightning round covering everything from debit vs. credit to the one word her team would use to describe her leadership. Whether you’re running a business, managing a household budget, or just curious what goes on inside a credit union’s walls, this episode has something for you. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
