"We're honored to be named a 2018 Detroit Free Press Top Workplace," said Lake Trust Credit Union President and CEO David Snodgrass. "This is especially significant because it represents employers across Michigan. It starts with how we make a difference in people's lives, not just our team members and members but also our neighbors. We act in the 35 counties we serve and through our Moved By Good Day, our dedicated initiative to help local non-profit organizations. I thank every Team Lake Trust member because they build and strengthen our unique culture of making that difference."

"It is part of our DNA, which our team members appreciate. Lake Trust Credit Union and the Lake Trust Foundation do donate funds to worthy causes but what also makes us a Top Workplace is our ongoing emphasis on doing good. Our team members give of themselves. That active community connection energizes us and makes Lake Trust the place we look forward to working at every day."
