Registration is open for the 2024 Iowa Credit Union Foundation 'Be the Light' Golf Classic, presented by SHAZAM. Join us for a day of fun on the golf course! This best-shot golf tournament is a fantastic way to support ICUF while networking with fellow Iowa credit union peers and industry vendors. All proceeds benefit ICUF's mission to champion financial well-being for all through the 'people helping people' credit union philosophy.

ICUF's 'People Helping People' Financial Coach Training Program will be held in May. Program slots are filling quickly, so now is the time to register!

The program will be held virtually through a series of six webinars in May. Internationally recognized facilitator Adam Carroll will lead the program. 

The best candidates for financial coach training are those who work daily with members. Branch managers, lenders or other member-facing staff who can find opportunity to assist members in difficult times will benefit the most from this training.

The Iowa Finance Authority has opened nominations for the 17th annual HousingIowa Awards. This awards program recognizes outstanding programs or projects based on their contributions to advancing affordable housing in Iowa. Nominations for families, communities or businesses should illuminate stories of how housing kicked off economic advancement, educational achievement or improved quality of life in other ways. Nominations will be accepted until May 31.
