PROVIDENCE, R.I.–Rhode Island Gov. Daniel McKee met representatives of some of the state’s credit unions for a roundtable discussion about the state of the economy and the efforts of his Administration to advance the health and success of the state.
The meeting took place on Rhode Island Independence Day.
According to the Cooperative Credit Union Association, McKee provided a preview into the “Rhode Island 2030 Plan” and invited all credit unions to continue to connect with their communities and engage by sharing their vision for the future.
Public safety, education, housing, equity and inclusion, and small businesses are among the topics for future focus, McKee said, the CCUA reported.
The CCUA said the governor also acknowledged his great relationship and “longtime friendship” with credit unions dating back for decades through his municipal and state service. He praised their hard work helping members to make their car and mortgage payments, as well as to help small businesses survive, during the pandemic.
“As the state moves forward, he strongly believes that credit unions will be important partners to help stabilize the economy,” the CCUA added.
