The Credit Union Journal is now accepting participants in its annual Day in the Life of Credit Unions Project. On the same day in August, approximately two-dozen credit unions from around the U.S. and around the world shoot photos of events at their credit unions. The Credit UnionJournal selects the best of those photos, which are then featured in our Oct. 11 issue, in conjunction with International Credit Union Week. This very popular project always fills up fast, so contact Judy Harnett at jhartnett@cujournal.com or 888-832-2929 to participate.
