What’s Happening May 2025
Annual meeting
We celebrated our 86th Annual Meeting where our President & CEO, Brian Orenstein, recapped the success Charter Oak experienced in 2024. We were also happy to present two scholarship winners with $2,000.00 from our Community Outreach program. To read more about Charter Oak’s achievements, please view our 2024 Annual Report here.
