October is GREAT Month: Advocate for the Credit Union Advantage

The Minnesota Credit Union Network is celebrating GREAT Month in October and encourages credit union advocates and supporters to sign up to join the Grassroots Education and Action Team (GREAT). 

GREAT provides credit union supporters a way to help preserve, protect and promote Minnesota credit unions. By participating in this program, credit union staff and members join other supporters from across the state in sharing the credit union advantage with elected officials. By participating in GREAT, you join thousands of advocates in ensuring credit unions have a strong, unified voice when legislative and regulatory decisions are being made. 

Ahead of the election, now is the time to remind members and credit union employees why being engaged in advocacy is essential to protecting our industry. ​We’re challenging all our member credit unions to increase the number of advocates during the GREAT Month. The resources in the GREAT toolkit can help engage new staff and members in the effort.
