Obama honors CUNA 's 75th, CUs' member service
WASHINGTON (12/21/09)--Sending "greetings" to the Credit Union National Association in recognition of its 75th year of service, President Barack Obama congratulated credit union employees "for their dedication to excellence in their work."
Obama in a letter sent late last week also congratulated credit unions for "serving individuals and families in their communities," adding that credit unions would "help grow and strengthen local economies across America" as the nation confronts the challenges set before it.
CUNA earlier this year commemorated its founding, which took place on Aug. 10, 1934, with a series of meetings and commemorations in Estes Park, Colorado.
In the letter, Obama urged credit union personnel and CUNA to "take pride" in the accomplishments of the last 75 years as they "mark this important milestone and look to the future."
