MCUL/FIC Youth Achievement Awards Presented (Includes Video)
The Family Involvement Council proudly presented two credit unions with first-place plaques for their involvement with youth. MCUL Public Affairs Director Mike Bridges attended the Metro West Chapter luncheon Dec. 10 and handed out the hardware.
Natalie McLaughlin of Community Financial Members FCU (MW) won the Youth Involvement Award. McLaughlin is the education partnership coordinator at Community Financial and has been instrumental in its student-run branches. She said the credit union began making youth a priority in its operations 16 years ago.
Michael Poulos, president/CEO of Michigan First CU (MW), accepted the Generation Next award. Michigan First CU has 10 student-run branches. Its program began in earnest about seven years ago and Poulos said he hopes to double the number of student-run branches in 2008.
