Tricorp’s 50th Annual Meeting Recap

On June 6th, 2025, Tricorp celebrated its milestone 50th Annual Meeting at the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport, Maine. With over 85 attendees gathered, the event was a testament to Tricorp’s thriving community and enduring success.

Board Chairman Scott Harriman addressed the group, reflecting on the strength of businesses today and the power of collaboration in the industry. He congratulated members for their continued success and expressed deep appreciation for the trust they place in Tricorp. “We are better together than apart,” he emphasized. “Tricorp is a shining example of that. Whatever the next 50 years bring us, collaboration and taking good care of our members will get us there.” His remarks resonated with the room, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to collective growth.

Following Harriman’s speech, CEO Billy LaFavor took the stage to echo those sentiments and share insights from his first year leading the corporate team. His reflections added a personal touch, offering attendees a glimpse into Tricorp’s direction and future priorities.

During the meeting, Joe Bergeron of the AVCU and Brian Hughes of Holy Rosary CU were re-elected for three-year terms, reaffirming their continued leadership and contributions to the organization. Additionally, Kevin Joler of Dirigo FCU was elected for a two-year term to complete the remainder of Ryan Poulin’s tenure, ensuring continued strategic guidance.

This year’s guest speaker, Linda Greenlaw, captivated the audience with her extraordinary journey in commercial fishing. As the real-life inspiration behind Sebastian Junger’s The Perfect Storm, Greenlaw is a pioneer—one of the few women in her industry and the world’s only female swordfish boat captain. Her anecdotes, stories, and hard-earned life lessons provided inspiration, illustrating the resilience and determination required to succeed in uncharted waters.

Afterward, attendees gathered for a buffet lunch, which allowed for members to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional relationships.  As members looked ahead, the meeting served as a powerful reminder of the strength built over the past 50 years—and the exciting future still to come.
