Greetings!
It has been well over a year of unpredictability for each of us. While the experience was not without volatility and uncertainty, we've all benefited from learning and reflection as we've all mastered virtual engagement and balanced work and home life in ways we never imagined.
Perhaps most importantly, throughout 2020 and beyond, we've each innovated to meet our customers needs. Your responsiveness and resilience in serving your mission in such turbulent times demonstrates your mettle and commitment.
Similarly, FHLBank Indianapolis works diligently to support you throughout all business and economic cycles, whether that means providing you access to liquidity in the form of advances or by acquiring mortgages through our Advantage Mortgage Purchase Program.
Expanding Our Engagement
Our account managers now have the flexibility to call on members in accordance with local travel and gatherings guidance, and we have a process in place for bringing our staff back together at our headquarters in Indianapolis by Labor Day.
At the same time, we're stepping up our engagement in Michigan, with plans to open an office in downtown Detroit in the third quarter of 2021; we'll also be basing a second account manager out of Michigan (in the Detroit space).
In the interim, we continue to provide members with a variety of educational meetings and training webinars. In March and April we held 10 such events for our membership and community stakeholders, and we have five more scheduled so far in May.
In the newsletter below, I summarize some of the key business and community milestones of this spring. Most notably, we just paid out our first quarter 2021 dividend!
As always, thank you for your membership, and for your commitment to your local communities.
