University of Kentucky Federal Credit Union’s Post

Seven months ago, I was on a quest to do more for small credit unions, in particular. I have always been an advocate for credit unions; so much so that for 1.5 years I went to work with a CU partner who also worked with banks. I missed spending 100% of my time working with credit unions so went in and "fired" myself (CEO was a friend.. :)) because my heart was really with credit unions. Fast forward 14 years and here we are in a period of more small credit union mergers, more De Novo credit unions trying to get chartered, a larger number of credit union CEOs retiring. Credit unions are such an integral part of the financial inclusion tapestry. So back to 7 months ago, I was ready to find a small group that had the same passion that I did. And poof, I was led to Denise Wymore, GSD, Nick Wodogaza, CUDE and Walter Merkle to begin this journey. We didn't have a set agenda; we just all had the heart and passion to ensure that small credit unions in particular could survive and thrive. This journey has ebbed and flowed in the months that passed. I have never felt more "alive" working in the credit union movement. I am in awe of the many of individuals and partners who all feel the same way. Slowly many of these people have come out with their banners waiving with the same theme...#NoCreditUnionLeftBehind." Our little group has expanded a bit but every step is a step forward. What this past 7 months has shown me is that you should never doubt the impact that one voice can have and then another, and another..... If you are a credit union evangelist, enthusiast, supporter, co-pilot...whatever banner you want to wear...shout it from the rooftops. Small credit unions need you, the credit union movement needs you, YOUR communities need you. I need you. Where is your voice? #nocreditunionleftbehind #noculeftbehind #creditunions #peoplehelpingpeople
