STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.–The decision to hold its 25th anniversary meeting at Stone Mountain, Ga., was no accident, according to its chairman.
In remarks to the organization’s event here Maurice Smith, the retired CEO of Local Government Employees CU and Civic FCU in North Carolina, noted Stone Mountain is well-known for being “steeped in history.” Stone Mountain features the largest high relief sculpture in the world, the Confederate Memorial Carving that features Confederate President Jefferson Davis and generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
“We intentionally selected to host our annual conference in Stone Mountain to see the mountain in a different light, specifically on perspective,” said Smith, saying there is an opportunity to “heal collectively. I implore you to reflect on our rich history the challenges we've all come to encounter. History seems to be repeating itself and going backwards.”
Smith urged his audience to find resolutions and to prevail once more.
Praise for AACUC
Smith praised AACUC for growing into the organization it has become and for the work it has done in improving the lives of credit union members and communities, and for the “beacons of light” who have helped guide the AACUC.
