December 2023

Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to supporting community organizations, with world-wide online fundraising occurring annually the week after Thanksgiving.

This year, ICUF raised $1,800 to support mission-aligned programs in the coming year. Thank you to all who donated! These gifts will allow ICUF to invest in critical programs and champion the credit union philosophy of "people helping people".

ICUF is proud to welcome Dave J. Cale, President and CEO of Financial Plus Credit Union and John Parks, CEO of Sioux Valley Community Credit Union as the newest members of the ICUF Board of Directors.

Please join us in thanking Danielle Gratton of Dupaco Community Credit Union, Ann McMillian of IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union, and Angela Drury of 1st Gateway Community Credit Union, who have concluded their terms of service to the board. Each have provided invaluable guidance and support throughout their terms. Thank you Danielle, Ann and Angela!
