COVID-19 Update
Dear Credit Union Members:
With the recent change in CDC guidance related to masking, as well as the decline in COVID-19 cases within our communities, WoodmenLife and Woodmen Federal Credit Union will change our masking protocols in the Tower as follows effective March 1, 2022:
Mask wearing in the WoodmenLife Tower and Woodmen Federal Credit Union will be voluntary. Any Employee or member who continues to prefer to wear a mask may continue to do so; however, it will not be required at this time. Please note, Woodmen Federal Credit Union will continue to monitor CDC guidance and COVID-19 cases ongoing. As a result, it is possible that masking may need to be put back into place at a future time.
As we move forward, we will continue to monitor our social distancing guidelines and COVID-19 protocols. If conditions warrant a change to adjust our COVID-19 protocols, you will be notified.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to navigate the situation.
Sincerely,
Clayton M. Steinberg, President

COVID-19 Update
Dear Credit Union Members:
In anticipation of re-populating the Woodmen Tower, all Woodmen Federal Credit Union members as well as WoodmenLife associates, building tenants and all visitors in the Tower, are asked to wear a face covering when entering and while in the building.
We are asking our members to begin wearing face coverings beginning Monday, May 18, if feasible. We understand that the acquisition of face coverings may be difficult at this time due to demand so WoodmenLife, the owner of the building, wants to keep a flexible timeline. Therefore, if May 18 is not possible, please begin wearing a face mask or covering no later than June 1.
For members who do not already have face coverings, WoodmenLife is currently in the process of ordering disposable face coverings for the building security team to hand out when you check in. WoodmenLife is happy to provide face coverings, but please bring your own when possible. This will allow security and building management to keep an inventory of face coverings available in the event of emergency.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this policy and how we might be able to assist.
Additional means of transacting with the Credit Union are published in prior COVID-19 Updates. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you.
