Courtney Sanchez Featured Women in Small Business

We're proud to share that InRoads Credit Union Business Relationship Manager Courtney Sanchez was recently featured in a local Women in Business Spotlight, recognizing her dedication to supporting business owners and making a difference in our community. 

The feature, shared by Heather Epperly of American Family Insurance in St. Helens, celebrates women who are making an impact through their work, leadership, and commitment to others. 

Here's what was shared about Courtney:

For the past 10 years, Courtney has been helping members achieve their financial goals through InRoads Credit Union, including the last three years working in the commercial department, where she partners with business owners to support their banking, lending, and overall financial needs. One of her favorite things about her role is helping businesses of all sizes access financing, including newer businesses that may not have the industry standard 3 years of operating history yet.

For Courtney, helping business owners navigate their financial journey and watching their businesses grow is one of the most rewarding parts of her role.

She's also deeply committed to supporting children's healthcare. As a child, Courtney underwent life-changing surgery, an experience that continues to inspire her today. Because of that connection, she actively supports CU4Kids, helping raise funds for children's hospitals across the country.

 Advice for Women Considering Starting a Business?

"Starting a business is one of the bravest things you can do."

Courtney encourages future business owners to establish a relationship with their banker early and think beyond the startup stage. "Ask yourself, 'What if everything goes right?' Consider what you'll need as your business grows, whether it's financing for inventory and equipment, the right account to simplify tax season, or tools to support future growth, and start planning for those needs now."

Congratulations Courtney! Your recognition is well-deserved.
