Representing TCC Credit Co-operative Limited as a board member at the World Credit Union Conference in Boston last week was inspiring. World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU).   The energy was incredible as credit union professionals worldwide gathered to share their passion for community well-being. It was wonderful to connect with such dedicated individuals making a positive impact.   The conference sessions were packed with trending topics like:   ●    Generative AI ●    Sustainable Finance ●    Regulatory Advocacy ●    Financial Inclusion   One takeaway I found particularly relevant, given the changing times, was the potential of AI tools to transform credit unions' online presence and data presentation. Imagine the possibilities for engaging younger generations and securing their future relevance.   The experience reaffirmed that credit unions are so much more than financial institutions. They are pillars of our communities, fostering financial wellness and overall well-being. Often serving as the "lenders of last resort," the institutions provide essential financial services with a heart when other options are limited.   In a world that often prioritizes profits, I see credit unions as a beacon of collaboration, empathy, and a genuine desire to uplift lives. #WCUC2024 #TCCCreditCooperative #HCConsultancy #financialwellness

2024 marks a significant milestone in my professional journey – 20 years of dedicated service within the credit union movement and I can honestly say, i still love my job! How cool is that 😎 It's an occasion that fills me with both pride and nostalgia. Sometimes, we are so busy looking forward that we forget to look back and appreciate how far we've come but our recent strategy day gave me that opportunity. It feels like just yesterday I decided to volunteer at a small credit union in Renfrew with 500 members. It was all about local people volunteering their time and effort to provide a safe haven for their friends, family, and neighbours money. It was the epitome of a community organisation, truly run by the people, for the people. We have witnessed substantial growth since those early days and I have gained a few wrinkles and more than a few lbs along the way 🙈 The landscape has evolved dramatically, with technological advances reshaping our operations, changing consumer habits, and an ever-increasing array of regulatory frameworks to navigate. Yet, through all these changes, my belief in the core ethos of the credit union movement has only strengthened. In today's world, I firmly believe that credit unions are more relevant and necessary than ever before. It's not just about the financial services we provide. It's about fostering a sense of community belonging, creating volunteering opportunities, and nurturing a culture where genuine people work together for mutual aid and support. As I celebrate this 20-year mark, I am reminded of the incredible impact credit unions have on communities and individuals alike. We're more than just financial institutions; we are a lifeline, a support system, and a testament to the power of collective effort. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey – colleagues, members, my family and our supportive community. I have been fortunate to meet some truly inspiring #communitychampions who do things for people and their communities, "just because its the right thing to do" These people are the unsung hero's. Here's to continuing our mission of empowering communities and making a difference, one member at a time! #CreditUnionMovement #20YearsOfService #CommunityBanking #FinancialInclusion #Volunteering #Teamwork
