The Credit Union League of Connecticut (CULC) announced it will stage the first-ever "Connecticut Credit Union Week" during October 16-22 in conjunction with International Credit Union Day on October 20.
CULC explained this event seeks to "increase awareness of credit unions and celebrates the role credit unions have in improving the lives of members in the communities they serve."
Throughout the week, the state's credit unions will "celebrate membership, value, community, financial well-being, their authentic difference, security, and accessibility." Credit unions across the state will hold "celebratory events" for their members; everything from donuts in the branch to holding a community shred day.
"Each Connecticut credit union brings a unique member experience, ensuring that whatever a consumer is seeking, there is a credit union that will meet those needs," said Jill Nowacki, president and CEO of the CUL Connecticut, in a statement. "This is the premise behind our consumer awareness initiative and our Connecticut's Credit Unions tag line, 'There's One for You.'"
Nowacki added that the league looks forward to "expanded awareness" of credit unions through this campaign.
