Over the years, we've opened offices in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, in addition to the 10 offices in the Corning/Elmira, New York area. We now serve over 108,000 members all over the world, with assets of over $1.4 billion. Our field of membership now includes more than 1,700 employer groups, associations, and businesses.
