Chapters
Nine chapters operate across the state, holding monthly meetings from September-June. Chapter meetings are open to all credit union staff, volunteers, and their guests. The agenda of the meetings is typically a social hour, dinner, or business meeting and educational program or activity.
Chapter Vision
We promote strong credit unions, awareness and relevance of credit unions in their communities, and a stronger, more unified League of credit unions statewide, through:
- Advocacy: Aggressively pursue opportunities to influence local leaders and lawmakers about the value credit unions provide to their communities.
- Leadership Development: Create development pathways and resources that enable credit union professionals and volunteers to further their careers in The Movement.
- Volunteer Recognition: Recognize the value of volunteers within The Movement.
- Demonstrations of the Credit Union Philosophy: Showcase The Credit Union Difference in ways to sustain the viability of credit unions and increase the awareness of the value that credit unions provide to consumers.
- Networking Opportunities: Promote cooperation among credit unions.
- League Connection: Provide a channel for information to and from The League.
- Community Involvement: Encourage credit union engagement in community projects.
