The Member Story Project
The Member Story Project celebrates the powerful, personal moments between credit unions and the people they serve. Through heartfelt stories of real-life impact, this initiative highlights the moments when credit unions made a meaningful difference. Whether they offered support during a crisis, helped a dream come true, or simply showed up when it mattered most, these stories speak volumes.
They reflect the essence of the credit union movement: real people helping real people. We hope they inspire you as much as they inspire us.
Do you have a story to share? We’d love to hear it. Submit your story here and be featured on CreditUnions.com.
The Member Story Project is sponsored by Callahan & Associates
