Team Member Spotlight
Liz Peter Builds Community Through Art and Heart
This month, we’re proud to highlight Liz Peter, Mortgage Loan Originator, for her creative and community-minded approach to engagement. Liz has hosted two successful art openings at her Northeast Minneapolis office, curating the work of local artists on a unique magnetic wall display she’s designed for just that purpose.
Each event draws a vibrant mix of the artists’ friends and families, past clients, referral partners, and community members—creating not only a beautiful showcase for emerging talent, but also a meaningful space for connection and conversation.
Looking ahead, Liz’s October event will feature artwork created by children ages 5–15, with all proceeds benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities. We love seeing team members use their spaces and their talents to make a positive impact. Well done, Liz!

Golfing 'Fore' A Cause
Luminate Bank was honored to be the presenting sponsor for The Raich Family Foundation's annual golf fundraiser at TPC Twin Cities.
Thanks to the generosity of our Twin Cities community and the many golfers, sponsors, and volunteers who showed up (even in the heat!), we were able to help make a meaningful impact in support of Soldiers 6 by raising over $38,000!
Soldiers 6 is a Minnesota nonprofit that provides honorably discharged veterans, first responders, and public safety professionals with specially trained K-9s who walk beside them through life’s hardest moments.
Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS)
eNPS is a standard way to measure the happiness and satisfaction of your employees using surveys. Employees are asked the question "On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to refer your company as a place to work?" and then follow up question to explain their answer.
