The World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) and the US Credit Union National Association (CUNA) are inviting credit unions around the world to participate in the 75th International Credit Union (ICU) day on the 19th October 2023.
ICU day encourages credit unions to reflect on its history and celebrate its many achievements. The first ICU day was held in 1948 and now takes place on the third Thursday of October.
“This day is internationally recognised as an opportunity to reflect on the movement’s history, promote our collective achievements and prepare for the future,” said Elissa McCarter LaBorde, president and CEO of WOCCU.
Elissa also noted that “75 years is quite a milestone to observe and acknowledge the tireless effort of credit union employees and celebrate our members the world over.”
As is traditional, the day has a specific theme and this year the event will emphasise themes of financial wellness and member empowerment, focussing on fostering financial wellbeing for members.
