COLUMBIA, S.C./RALEIGH, N.C.–The Carolinas Credit Union League is celebrating its fifth birthday.
The North Carolina Credit Union League and the South Carolina Credit Union League merged in January of 2014 to form the entity.
“The dual-state league recognizes its integral role in the credit union movement, serving as the Carolinas’ ‘Strongest Advocate and A Whole Lot More,’” the CCUL said. “Since its formation, the association continues to evolve with credit union needs and boasts a 94% credit union affiliation rate, engaging thousands of credit union employees in opportunities for employee education, advocacy, peer networking, and operations/product solutions.”
Among its accomplishments over the past five years has been expansion of South Carolina’s “Protégé” competition, launch of the Carolinas Capital Club, development of a mobile responsive website, the successful passage of numerous pieces of legislation in both states, and more, the league said.
‘Constant Evaluation’
“The environment for credit unions and leagues is ever-changing,” shared Dan Schline, president and CEO of CCUL. “We’re constantly evaluating how we can best serve credit unions in the Carolinas and meet their changing needs. Every once in a while, it’s nice to stop and appreciate what we’ve accomplished together – that’s what this celebration is all about. I’m proud of all the hard work our team has put in and grateful for the strong leadership from the league board.”
To commemorate the anniversary, CCUL has released a celebratory logo to be used throughout the year in conjunction with the standard company logo. The league said it is also finalizing a community service initiative that will engage staff throughout the year while embodying the credit union philosophy of “people helping people.” More on this project will be announced soon.
