Dr. Aaron P. Noble's extensive career inspires his commitment to the community he knows best. He says, “One of the things that really excites me about our credit union is serving a population that is near and dear to my heart: local government employees in North Carolina.”
Getting started
Having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communications from Hampton University; a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and a doctorate in education from North Carolina State University, Noble brought his expertise to the credit unions.
He has served as a credit union volunteer since 1997, first as a member of the LGFCU Northern Piedmont Advisory Council. Later, he served on the Loan Review Committee for several years, prior to his appointment to the LGFCU Board of Directors in 2011. In 2018, Noble served with the group of founding members who organized and chartered Civic Federal Credit Union.
Credit unions and community
Dr. Noble speaks to the impact local government employees and volunteers have in their communities: “From making sure their neighborhoods are safe and clean, making sure they have recreational opportunities, putting together policies that help shape the growth of their community going forward … these people contribute in so many ways — they're hardworking people.”
His respect for his community is exemplified in his work. Having served on a local bank board before joining the credit union, he understands the important differences between the respective bottom lines of banks and credit unions.
"What really excites me about our credit union is serving a population that is near and dear to my heart: local government employees in North Carolina."
Service, reliability, accessibility
With the merger of LGFCU and Civic, Noble believes the credit union will be able to offer much more to members. He recognizes the importance of making sure members feel confident doing business in new ways, and knows the credit union will take security, service, reliability, accessibility, and financial literacy seriously.
“That's what it's really all about, people helping people,” he says. “We're going to have even greater efforts now in educating our members and helping them to better manage their finances, and helping them to better prepare for the future.”
Trustworthy, dependable and caring are words to describe the legacy Noble wants to leave. He takes pride in the reputation he’s established in his city, as someone who stands by his word and genuinely cares about his community, and his commitment to North Carolina local government is unwavering.
