Ascend Federal Credit Union announced earlier this week that the company and its employees raised $25,550 in March to support the Tennessee Region of the American Red Cross.
âAscend is dedicated to supporting organizations that are making a difference in the communities we serve,â Ascend President and CEO Caren Gabriel said in a prepared statement. âWe strongly believe in the Red Crossâ mission and are proud to be able to support their efforts.â
In addition to holding an employee fundraiser to support the Tennessee Region of the American Red Cross, Ascend recently sponsored the Nissan Lifesaver Special, a live television segment held in place of its traditional, in-person Lifesaver Breakfast.
Ascend Federal Credit Union has announced the opening of a regional operations center in Murfreesboro.
The operations center will take up 18,000 square feet of the three-story building located at 1524 Williams Dr.
It is Ascendâs first regional operations center. In 1988 Ascend opened its first branch at the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro. Today, Ascend operates six branches in Rutherford County, four of which are located in Murfreesboro.
The new operations center can accommodate up to 100 employees. The facility will be used as a talent recruitment and training hub, as well as offices for business development, branch operations, information technology and mortgage banking staff.
