Seasons FCU in Middletown, Conn. received coverage in the Record Journal for its move into an "eco-friendly" facility. The credit union is relocating to a LEED-certified building, the story reported, that includes floors made of recycled glass, and which uses power derived from a mix of wind and hydropower. The wood is certified to come from reforestry sources, the story noted.
The Worcester Business Journal featured immigrant Kwasi Sarpong in a story on how Sarpong has become publisher of The Radiant, a newspaper for African immigrants, and how he used Digital Credit Union to help build his business. The story suggested that 80% to 90% of local Africans and a large part of the Indian immigrant community all use the credit union.
The South Bend Tribune featured Laura Howell, 52, a teller at Taper Lock Credit Union, in a piece on how she interacts with members. The story quoted Howell as saying she felt the career was rewarding. One downside: the story consistently referred to the credit union as a "bank" and members as "customers."(c) 2008 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc.
