MADISON, Wis. – In advance of International Credit Union (ICU) Day, the National Credit Union Foundation (the Foundation) plans to host a Twitter chat for credit unions on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. (CT). The Foundation said it is inviting credit unions to discuss ICU Day and their everyday efforts involving the nine credit union operating principles.
“Last year, we had a really successful Twitter chat around what credit unions were doing for ICU Day,” said Christopher Morris, Foundation director of communications. “This time, we wanted to dig deeper, since the ICU Day theme this year is ‘The Authentic Difference’ which integrates the credit union operating principles. The chat will be a great opportunity for credit unions to share how they apply the operating principles to help members improve their financial lives.”
During the Twitter chat on October 13, credit unions and their staff are encouraged to share best practices and examples of their efforts around board elections, providing exceptional service to members, socially responsible activities, education, working with other cooperatives and more. Co-op Credit Union in Black River Falls, Wis., will be featured in the Twitter chat as a special guest, the Foundation said.
