ONTARIO, Calif.–Credit unions across California marked International Credit Union Day and its theme “Cooperation for a Prosperous World.”
Across California, credit unions demonstrated the spirit of this year’s theme by successfully hosting community appreciation events. These festivities provided an invaluable opportunity for community members and local officials to learn about the unique benefits of credit union membership, access financial literacy resources, and witness the credit union difference, California’s Credit Unions said.
The goal — to foster deeper relationships between credit unions, local policymakers, and the communities they serve — was achieved through festivities across nine locations statewide. In partnership with California’s Credit Unions, several local credit unions hosted celebrations to showcase this commitment.
Celebrations took place at the following nine credit unions, attracting local turnout and support from the communities they serve:
- California Credit Union (San Diego)
- Chaffey Federal Credit Union (Rancho Cucamonga)
- Golden 1 (Sacramento)
- Kinecta (El Segundo/Manhattan Beach)
- Mocse Credit Union (Modesto)
- Pacific Service Credit Union (Concord)
- SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union (Tustin)
- Valley First Credit Union (Fresno)
- Wescom Financial (Pasadena)
“The energy we saw amplified our cooperative movement’s purpose,” said Scott Simpson, President and CEO of California’s Credit Unions. “Cooperation for a prosperous world is achieved through credit unions’ dedication to putting members first. It’s what drives our global prosperity today, and the outreach we championed on October 16 is a testament to this member-centric foundation. We want to thank every advocate and member who supported International Credit Union Day this year.”
