Board of Directors Voting

I have had the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors at Frontier Credit Union since September 2013. During this time, I have contributed to exciting changes and significant growth, making Frontier a financially stronger institution and an outstanding place to work. These advancements have allowed us to expand our services and better support our members. I am eager to continue playing a role in this progress and ensure that Frontier Credit Union remains a trusted financial partner for our community. With over 15 years of experience in IT and operations across manufacturing, financial, and healthcare industries, I now serve as CFO at Distilled Resources, Inc., a vodka distillery near Rigby, ID, where we craft ultra-premium potato vodka from local Idaho potatoes.

With nearly 18 years of membership at Frontier Credit Union, it has been a pleasure to serve on the Supervisory Committee and, more recently, on the Board of Directors. I’ve built my career as a Certified Public Accountant and currently serve as a partner at a local accounting firm. I’m a member of both the American Institute and Idaho Society of Certified Public Accountants. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and discovering great food. It’s been rewarding to be part of the Credit Union’s recent growth, and I look forward to supporting its mission ahead.

I am retired and have been a proud member of Frontier Credit Union since the early 1980s, serving on the Board in various capacities since 1981. My professional background includes 29 years with the Idaho Department of Agriculture – Animal Health Division. Since 1990, I’ve also owned and operated a hay and grain farm in Roberts, Idaho. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health from the University of Idaho and an MBA from Idaho State University. I continue to serve on the West Side Soil Conservation District Board and remain dedicated to Frontier’s strength, sustainable growth, and member-first mission.

My name is Troy Butzlaff, and I seek your support to serve on the Board of Directors. With three decades of experience managing cities in California, I am uniquely qualified for this role. Now retired, I consult for cities in Idaho, serve on a housing authority board, and am an active Rotarian. I’m fully committed to advancing our mission and placing member needs at the forefront. If elected, I will prioritize:
• Strengthening relationships with local government, ensuring their employees understand the many benefits Frontier offers.
• Developing innovative lending solutions to tackle the housing affordability crisis our members face.
