Historical Fact

The very first Vision Financial® company check ever written was for full membership in ELFA(then called "ELA" back in 1991).

We knew then, just as we know now, that its important to send a message to our business partners that Vision Financial was intent on being a professional organization that was ready to abide by fair business practices and general industry standards of professional conduct.

In October of 2007, the membership of ELFA selected Fred Summers, Chairman & CEO of Vision Financial®, to serve on its Board of Directors for a 3-year term.
