ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—The Credit Union Association of New Mexico and the Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) have announced a partnership aimed at providing credit union support to veteran and first responder members and staff in the state.
The two organizations plan to collaborate and create “CUheroes,” an employee resource group (ERG) dedicated to serving the veterans and first responders within New Mexico’s credit unions.
"New Mexico is lucky to count with a high percentage of current and former military population. The Credit Union Association of New Mexico is committed to helping credit unions meet the needs of the heroes they serve," said Juan E. Fernández Ceballos, president/CEO of CUANM. "CUheroes will launch in the fall of 2022 and is one of CUANM’s association-supported, employee-led employee resource groups. Our employee resource groups help credit union professionals engage, network, and learn from each other.”
‘Essential to Financial Health’
Added Anthony Hernandez, president and CEO of the Defense Council, “DCUC is proud to partner with the Credit Union Association of New Mexico to bring more resources to the military and veteran community. It is by working together that we can have the largest impact on the credit union industry, which is essential to the financial health and well-being of the men and women that have served our country.”
