AURORA, Colo.–Nearly 200 attendees were on hand for the FinHealth24 event here, which organizers described as an opportunity to “learn, engage, and deep-dive into what it means to holistically serve members with financial health-and-wellbeing solutions that transform lives.”
FinHealth 24 was co-hosted by the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF), and Cornerstone Foundation at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center.
“Coming from credit unions and industry affiliates spanning the West Coast to East Coast, attendees absorbed insights as they immersed themselves in an enriching experience and exploration that brought together today’s ‘who’s who’ in credit union financial literacy and education,” organizers said in a statement. “This year, measurable data and comprehensive studies on the financial pulse of credit union members from all walks of life — representing different communities — were in focus as financial education practitioners increasingly take an integrative and inclusionary approach to solving financial insecurity in society.”
Organizers added that credit unions have been committing to financial health goals for the past several years, “assessing what’s working and what’s not, addressing specific financial wellbeing issues, and taking measurable actions to move the needle on community financial health.”
‘Highly Educational’
“What began eight years ago as a small annual gathering has developed into one of the most highly educational and cooperative credit union industry conferences around the nation that focuses exclusively on the financial health and wellbeing of credit union members,” Larry Palochik, executive vice president for the Leagues, said in a statement.
According to organizers, this year’s event spotlighted the fruits of that progress as credit unions and their partners in the educational and digital-service realms continue cultivating an ongoing, shared responsibility for the financial consumer at a micro level.
“Recurring attendees and newcomers alike shared how their eyes have been opened,” organizers said. “They realize how financial wellbeing is part of a broader tapestry incorporating economic, lifestyle, and health problems that are highly intertwined.”
‘Driving Positive Change’
Added National Credit Union Foundation Executive Director Gigi Hyland in a statement, “Bringing together top industry leaders to delve into the crucial role of credit unions in enhancing financial-wellbeing-for-all shows our collective commitment to driving positive change. The insightful discussions, innovative strategies, and collaborative spirit showcased during this event reaffirm our dedication to empowering individuals through strengthened financial health.”
