Chamber Chair of the Board Dr. Michael Mosley of Rocky Bayou Christian School announced, “This company has been everywhere you look over the past year or more.

With us, they have sponsored Golf Classic, lunches, breakfasts, Niceville Young Professionals Golf Tournament, Sequins and Suits, the Education Committee and much more! They sit on numerous Boards throughout the area in order to support and stay in tune with the needs of local organizations. EFCU recently helped launch an Okaloosa County Schools suicide prevention program with the Hope Squad and partners with Okaloosa Saves. They have been in our area since 1954, and they are always seeking opportunities to serve the needs of our communities. This business is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of members and in our communities.”
