Young professionals across North Carolina have been learning more about credit union history one meet-up at a time, courtesy of CUaware.
Founded in early 2011 by Patrick Livingston, director of strategic projects, and Brandon McAdams, director of lending products at Raleigh-based Coastal Federal Credit Union, CUaware grew from a desire to help build awareness of cooperatives and the credit union difference.
"The underlying idea of CUaware was inspired by a series of training events Brandon and I participated in about the history and philosophy behind the cooperative model and credit unions," said Livingston. "Learning about the movement's impact on society as a historical force for social and fiscal advocacy was eye opening and it made us want to do more. We all get caught up with our daily lives and work, so we wanted to provide a very low cost, easy entryway into the credit union movement."
