The African American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) invites credit union professionals and industry partners from across the country to convene for a five-part Commitment to Change Conversation Series. The virtual event will take place August 10-14 and is designed to inspire and empower credit union professionals to lead with a mindset of diversity, equity and inclusion during these challenging racial and public health crises to better represent and serve communities of color.
“Commitment to Change is an industrywide movement that seeks to ignite professionals to bring about a more diverse and inclusive workforce, community and country,” said AACUC President/CEO Renee Sattiewhite. “This new virtual format will provide us the opportunity to reach more people and provide value that is both needed and timely in our current socio-economic environment.”
The weeklong series beginning will feature daily 90-minute virtual sessions led by expert panelists and speakers representing financial services, social justice, mental health and academia. Topics for the discussions include emotional fortitude, leadership during times of crisis, community action, and financial, economic and income equality within the context of being and serving people of color.
In June, the AACUC launched Commitment to Change: Credit Unions Unite Against Racism. This initiative focuses on unification, education, conversations, and investments that will move the credit union movement into a future where diversity, equity, and inclusion can thrive.
