MADISON, Wis.–The World Council of Credit Unions and CUNA have announced the theme for 2020’s International Credit Union Day: “Inspiring hope for a global community.”
“This year's global health crisis has been trying for many communities around the world, but credit unions stayed true to their cooperative principles and stepped up during this time of economic uncertainty,” the organizations said. “Hope is a global resource that everyone has a right to feel and experience. This year's ICU Day theme…reflects how credit unions contribute to a brighter future by providing financial empowerment to people all over the world through financial services, education and support.”
Added the World Council, “The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about the tremendous work that credit unions and other financial cooperatives are doing around the world and give members the opportunity to get more engaged. The day of festivities for credit unions and financial cooperatives globally includes fundraisers, open houses, contests, picnics, volunteering and parades.”
This year International CU Day is Oct. 15.
