Group Formed To Plan Centennial

WASHINGTON - A group has been formed to help mark the 100th anniversary of credit unions in the U.S., which is technically in 2008 but is being celebrated in 2009 since that was the year Massachusetts passed the first enabling legislation. Although a statement announcing the formation of the “Credit Union Action at 100” team called it a “collaborative team,” it does not include NAFCU. Instead, it is made up of CUNA, the American Association of Credit Union Leagues, America’s Credit Union Museum and CUNA Mutual Group. “CUAT100 is charged with focusing on a variety of measures to ensure that the 100th anniversary of the American credit union movement is properly, and respectfully, marked and recognized,” the group said in a statement.
