AACUC collaborates with the Illinois Credit Union System to Honor Juneteenth

NAPERVILLE, IL (June 19, 2020) — In Honor of Juneteenth, LSC of the Illinois Credit Union System (ICUS) has joined AACUC’s Commitment to Change: Credit Unions Unite Against Racism. LSC is sponsoring 100 individual memberships for LSC and Illinois Credit Union League credit union partners to join AACUC. This limited number of sponsored memberships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

“The decision to sponsor these individual memberships to AACUC is based on our long-standing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. I look forward to working with credit unions to support these important values throughout our communities,” says Tom Kane, President/CEO of the Illinois Credit Union System.

We are humbled by the support of the Illinois Credit Union League and LSC.  Juneteenth is a historic day for African Americans – this is a great way to start our Commitment to Change: Credit Unions Unite Against Racism Initiative”, said Adrian S. Johnson, SVP/CFO MECU Credit Union and AACUC Chairman of the Board.

Libby Calderone, President and COO of LSC, sees this as a way of strengthening credit union collaboration and the communities they serve. She says, “I’m excited to be working with our credit union partners on uniting our communities, moving forward, and advocating for lasting and meaningful change.

This is an opportunity for credit unions to participate in a common mission with ICUS and AACUC to increase diversity within the credit union community through advocacy and professional development.
