Jesse Robbins: “I’m committed to building Black Rock Federal because I believe in our community and it’s unique ability to make a difference in the world.”
Allegra Searle-LeBel: “As a longtime cooperative model enthusiast, I’m very excited to be building this community-oriented financial institution. I’m working for the day when my deposit can be turned around as a low-interest loan to an artist who otherwise would have funded their work with a high-interest credit card. My experience as a choreographer and dancer leads me to greatly appreciate the value of a financial institution that prioritizes art.”
