Advisory Council
Advisory Council
We are looking for you. Someone who wants to actively participate in shaping our future (And your hometown’s too). The Advisory Council mirrors the grassroots beginnings of credit unions. Here is how you can be a champion for the membership and the credit union.
Help shape the future of Civic
“It means a lot to be an Advisory Council member. I’m able to help others gain better access to resources and opportunities to grow their funds, help their children save, or even apply for a loan. It’s a pleasure to do that.” - Jasmine Smith
Why you should join the Advisory Council
Collaboration
“It shows me that the credit union actually cares for the individuals. They’re responsive to our ideas. That matters tremendously.”
– Brian Franklin, Burnsville
Community connection
“Whether at an Advisory Council meeting or the state meeting, you felt included. It’s a welcoming atmosphere, which is totally foreign in financial services.”
– Tony Long, Mint Hill Town Council
Diverse participation
“What does the Advisory Council look like? We want diversity across the board. We look forward to having everybody’s input that we can to make it the best it can be.”
– Kinston Mayor Don Hardy
This is you as an advocate for members
- Participate in surveys and provide feedback to credit union leaders on how the credit union is meeting member needs
