Less Than One Week to ICU Day!

​Next Thursday, credit unions around the world celebrate with the theme “Empower Your Financial Future.” What is your credit union planning?  

Don’t forget, October 20 is International Credit Union Day (ICU Day) – that’s just a week away! We will all be celebrating with this year’s theme: “Empower Your Financial Future with a Credit Union.” Be sure use #ICUDay on all your social media posts, and don’t forget to share your ICU Day activities and celebrations by emailing to Shawn Brummer.

ICU Day has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948. The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about the tremendous work that credit unions and other financial cooperatives are doing around the world and give members the opportunity to get more engaged. Festivities often include community fundraisers, contests, and picnics.

October is also Cybersecurity Awareness Month and a great time to help individuals protect themselves online as threats to technology and confidential data become more commonplace. 

CUNA offers a wide range of resources to help credit unions celebrate and further their mission, including customizable materials. No-cost resources include:

• Logos
• Posters
• Coloring Page
• Social Media kits
• Press Release
