Embers Welcomes New Commercial Credit Administration Manager - Lisa DeCaire

A Local with a Passion for Community

Hailing from the small town of Ishpeming, Lisa DeCaire has spent her entire life embracing the laid-back pace and natural beauty of the Upper Peninsula. Now serving as Commercial Credit Administration Manager at Embers Credit Union, Lisa brings a wealth of experience in commercial credit, loan operations, compliance, and lending sales, along with a true passion for serving the community she calls home.

Her professional journey started in tax accounting, but her path led her to commercial credit—a field where she thrives. Lisa is excited to bring her expertise and enthusiasm to Embers, diving in with the commercial team to provide thoughtful solutions and meaningful support to local businesses.

Enjoying the UP Lifestyle

For Lisa, the UP is the perfect backdrop for enjoying life’s simple pleasures. She and her husband, Mike, can often be found paddling in a kayak, relaxing in a hammock, or gathering around a fire. While she may not dominate a disc golf course, Lisa knows how to make the most of outdoor adventures—and a spontaneous dance party is always part of the fun.

When she’s not outside, Lisa enjoys quality time with her family, visiting camp, or catching up on the necessary Sunday night TV binge. And when it comes to food, nothing beats Italian for this UP native.

Excited to Serve Her Community

From her very first conversation with Embers, Lisa was impressed by the friendly, enthusiastic, and committed culture of the team. “I was so inspired by the member service and community outreach Embers provides,” she shares. “I’m excited to serve the community I’ve lived in my whole life and to be part of such a welcoming and dedicated team.”

Her focus on collaboration, expertise, and community aligns perfectly with Embers’ mission to support members and local businesses alike.
