Happy International Credit Union Day! This year’s theme, “Building financial health for a brighter tomorrow,”™ reflects the way credit unions contribute to a brighter future by working to improve members’ financial well-being. It is at the heart of the mission and structure of credit unions. The essence of this commitment is reflected in each institution’s bylaws and it’s something credit unions have been doing for more than 100 years.

There is still time for credit unions to access 2021 International Credit Union Day marketing materials by visiting CUNA’s website and the WOCCU website.

In recognition of International Credit Union Day, the New York Credit Union Association hosted an exclusive virtual trivia event for credit union professionals across the state earlier today. The Association teamed up with Cabot Creamery — which, as a co-op, shares the Association’s cooperative spirit and principles — who is awarding the top trivia winners with prizes.
