Theresa Bolinske, mortgage loan officer at Aspire Credit Union, will retire at the end of June. The community is invited to celebrate her career at Aspire Credit Union on Thursday from 1-4 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Bolinske summed up her career in just a few words: “It’s been the best career.”

Over her 22-year career in the Minot region, she received many awards and recognitions, including Affiliate of the Year from the Minot Board of Realtors and a Minot Chamber EDC Eagle Award for outstanding customer service. During her stint at her prior financial institution, she was ranked among the top 10% in the company nationwide and was recognized for her efforts with several awards and accolades for her work. If there was anything she can share with young professionals in the industry, it’s to never give up. She did not get the first job she applied for, but when she did get started 22 years ago, the rest was history.

Bobbi Hansen, Loan Department manager, shared, “Bolinske has been a huge asset to the Aspire team. Her knowledge and genuine care are unrivaled, and she will be missed by all.”

Aspire Credit Union, formerly Prairie Federal Credit Union, has served the Minot area communities since 1937. A non-profit, member-owned financial institution, Aspire Credit Union is a community-chartered credit union serving Bottineau, McHenry, McLean, Mountrail, Renville and Ward Counties.
