SEATTLE — What started out as informal gatherings at nearby restaurants during CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conferences in the mid 1990s has come full circle for the African-American Credit Union Coalition.
The AACUC kicked off its 8th annual conference here Aug. 10-12 with more than XXX attendees to the Evergreen State. Nearly 50 new members joined the organization with 20 of them attending a pinning ceremony held Aug. 11. The coalition now has XXX members. Shirley Jenkins, AACUC co-chair of the conference committee and board member at Municipal Credit Union, emphasized the importance of bringing more young people to the AACUC and the movement.
"All of my life, I've been concerned with bringing up the youth," Jenkins said, adding she has constantly encouraged New York legislators to embrace the same mission. "If we bring them along, we will secure our future. Teach them and they will lead."
