Wescom Credit Union would like to congratulate Pouria Abbassi, Wescom Board Member and Executive Director, CEO of ASUCLA, for being a recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
The Medal celebrates inspiring Americans who are selflessly working for the betterment of our country and its citizens. Since 1986, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor recipients are read into the Congressional Record each year. Pouria is in good company as past medalists include Presidents Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden, former Apple CEO John Sculley, Google Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt, Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, Nobel Prize laureates Elie Wiesel and Malala Yousufzai, Sen. John McCain, Muhammad Ali, and Lee Iacocca.
Wescom is proud to have Pouria serve on our all-volunteer Board of Directors, who work hard to act in the best interest of our members and to meet the demands of governing a financial institution with more than $6 billion in assets.
We thank Pouria for his support of the Credit Union, our more than 200,000 members, and our Southern California communities. More info about the Medal can be found here.
