Message from the President and CEO

Financial insecurity is at the core of many of our society's social ills. Currently our nation's financial system is continually evolving and Americans are taking a greater responsibility for their financial well-being.

While most people realize that saving, investing, using credit wisely, and planning for their future are essential to their financial security, many do not know where to start. AAA Fair Credit Foundation's goal is to provide consumers with the tolls and resources necessary to take control of their finances and empower them to turn their financial knowledge into action.

A strategic mission and vision does not necessarily define a company’s success - its people do. I'm impressed daily by the depth of talent, passion, and committment exhibited by our team. Our approach and philosophy fosters an environment that enables strategic thinking and creativity to ensure that independent thought and input from all levels of the organization are used to measure positive outcomes.

FCF has reached many significant milestones - obtaining and maintaining ISO 9001:2000 certification, 2004 Utah Best of State Winner, award from the Internal Revenue Service for Outstanding Community Service, United Way of Salt Lake’s 2006 President’s Award, and recipient of the 2008 Alfred P. Sloan award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. These recognition awards demonstrate our ongoing commitment to solve community problems.

Promoting responsible fiscal attitudes and behaviors has generated increased community awareness of our services and delivery access channels. A member of a financially healthy household learns better and works better; they will contribute to the overall financial strength of a community, rather than drain its resources. We are sincerely grateful to our many partners and stakeholders who provide the necessary funding to help us promote programs that foster financial stability.

I invite you to become acquainted with AAA Fair Credit Foundation, its mission and resources.

Preston L. Cochrane
President and CEO
