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

175 years in black and white , nothing fancy. TRANSFORMATIONAL not transactional. Credit Unions change lives-and even more beautifully, it is done as not for profits. Case in point. You may have seen in a post done last month our branch celebrated Financial Literacy Month by creating a simple table with unsophisticated CFBP handouts about Financial Literacy e.g. budgeting etc. Yes there was some candy and visuals, nothing marketing/communication folks would write home about and it was embarrassingly low tech, the fintechnical industrial complex folks would find it laughable. Boring right? Yet, a funny thing happened. Members, without prompt and en mass grabbed the handouts- and as I watched some quietly and some almost surreptitiously , looking around and upon seeing our smiling approval took them-LOTS of them. Maybe some were for family, friends or churches. No matter, that was even better and it warmed my heart! Our relationship to our members as a cooperative is built on a fundamental trust, simply helping them meet their essential needs first, wherever they are at, nothing more, nothing less. And just like the pamphlets, they spread the word about us. As Credit Unions worldwide soon begin the 175 year celebration of our origins, may we always simply strive to earn and keep that fundamental trust, without fanfare-everyday and every way. Spread the word… #wcocu #creditunions #cooperatives #service #ncsecu #love #175CU #financialliteracy #members #secu #financialeducation
