Distinctly Montana published our first issue in 2001, which makes us sort of ancient by today’s standards. We’ve rolled with the punches and changed with the times, building one of the largest social and digital audiences in Montana. We can’t predict the future, but we can predict that we’ll do everything that we can to continue improving and changing with the times so that we can tell Montana’s thousands of stories well into the future.
Angela is the local Branch Manager of Altana Federal Credit Union here in Red Lodge. She graduated from Roberts High School, attended Northwest College, and found her calling within the Credit Union industry right away. She has grown within Altana FCU for 14+ years, starting from a Teller position she grew into a number of roles like a Support Center Specialist, Member Service Representative, Consumer Lender and Underwriter. Angela has navigated a multitude of roles and takes on new responsibilities and goals like a force to be reckoned with.
Besides her dedication to the Credit Union and its Members, Angela is on the Carbon County Planning Board for the Town of Bridger and volunteers on the RLACF Workforce Housing Steering Committee. She also takes every opportunity to visit local schools to educate kids on the importance of credit, finance and navigating the world of banking.
Outside of work, Angela and her husband, John, enjoy taking their two children on adventures. They can be found hunting, fishing, being on horseback, and discovering new places around the state to enjoy. Angela originally met her husband while performing with the Home of Champions Rodeo Flag Team, later he proposed while skiing in the middle of ‘M’ at Red Lodge Mountain, and they were married at the Red Lodge Fairgrounds. Whether it was for adventure, love, or work, Angela has always been drawn to the town of Red Lodge. Having the opportunity to better the town and surrounding community is a passion she clearly takes to heart.
