Michael Davenport, the president/CEO of the $12.7 million, 2,300-member Integris Federal Credit Union, and his wife Maria will travel to Southern Louisiana Tuesday to reunite with a young woman whom he plucked from flooding waters in the wake of Hurricane Rita 10 years ago.
In addition to serving the Tulsa, Okla.-based cooperative, Davenport also worked as a reserve deputy sheriff at the time. Due to that role, Integris FCU's board of directors voted unanimously to authorize time off for him to deploy to South Louisiana with other law enforcement officers after Hurricane Katrina came ashore in 2005.
