Mrs. Decuir was an exceptional visionary leader not only at WBRT FCU but in any endeavor she found herself involved in. She proudly represented WBRT FCU at various credit union events such as LCUL Annual Conventions, Workshops, Conferences and Membership Drives.

She was very dedicated and passionate about the growth and development of WBRT FCU. She was always ready and willing to serve the credit union in any way. The credit union looked forward to Mrs. Decuir adding her own "personal touch of sophistication and style" to any project she was engaged in.
