Special Credit Union Day Highlights:
To help you promote this opportunity, we’ve created a promotional toolkit that includes:
The ticket link allows for direct purchase and electronic delivery, making it easy for staff and members to participate. Let’s show our collective pride and make a powerful statement about the impact of credit unions in Minnesota. We look forward to seeing you at the ballpark!
 Credit unions across Minnesota are joining forces for a bold, collaborative consumer awareness campaign — and it’s launching this summer!
Designed to raise awareness, grow membership, and educate Minnesotans on what makes credit unions different, the campaign features fresh creative, relatable storytelling, and a confident message: “It’s a credit union thing.” The effort targets younger audiences (ages 25–49) who are making major life and financial decisions — and may not yet fully understand how credit unions can support them. Our primary goal is to increase awareness of Minnesota Credit Unions and knowledge on what makes us unique, in order to assist in driving membership growth. We’ll do so by engaging the next generation of members where they live, work and play, and showing up in environments they turn to for education and information within their communities. Join MnCUN and our new creative agency Haberman to hear a deeper dive into our new strategy on Tuesday, June 17th from 2-3pm. You'll learn more about our target audience, creative direction and media plans. The webinar is free but we ask you please register. The session will be recorded.
The online request form was completed, but we also reached out to MnCUN directly since the timeline was tight and there weren’t any current distributers in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Jeremy from Broken Clock Brewing Co-Op presented two options: personally driving up our order OR helping get a local distributer. In a matter of days both were accomplished!
Jeremy personally delivered 10 cases to our Annual Meeting location and made deliveries to a local distribution partner. So, when delighted members received their can and asked where they could get more, we were able to tell them Westside Liquors! This celebration was a win for our members, a local business, and the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation!
