Vancouver's iQ Credit Union has awarded $3,500 in grants to 42 recipients in 36
Southwest Washington schools as part of the "Read With Me" program to encourage
students and families to read together. The grants will be used to buy books for a
program the credit union supports because its "roots are in education," said Roger
Michaelis, chief executive officer. IQ opened as Vancouver Teacher's Credit Union in
1940 and then became Clark County School Employees Credit Union. The name was
changed to iQ in 2004.
Riverview Community Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vancouver-based

workplace policies and environments, based on survey results of more than 14,000
employees and managers at 263 Oregon businesses. Riverview operates 17
branches, including 12 in the Portland-Vancouver area.
