Charter Oak was awarded the Community Engagement Award from United Way of Southeastern Connecticut. This award recognizes Charter Oak for all that we do throughout the year for our community which includes participating and holding food drives, volunteering and “giving generously”. Some Charter Oak employees also serve on United Way Committees, including their Board of Directors and Young Leaders United. We are so proud to be recognized by United Way of Southeastern Connecticut!

84th Annual Meeting


The year 2022 continued to bring challenges for our nation, our state, and Charter Oak as the global COVID 19 health crisis continued. As we navigated through quarantines and staffing fluctuations as branches opened and closed and opened again, our employees rallied and our enhanced digital services ensured that we continued to do business and meet our members’ needs.

Throughout the year, we successfully navigated these challenges with the assistance, understanding, and support of our members and employees. Read our 2022 Annual Report below, to learn more about our success.
