Our credit union is not an "education" credit union. Why would we join the Education Credit Union Council?

Because we are a unique idea-exchange organization dedicated to providing educational and networking opportunities to credit unions who serve educational communities, as well as those who have member education as a central tenet of their mission. Whether educators compose the majority of your membership, or even a small segment, you will benefit from the exchange of ideas offered by our ECUC members.

How would we benefit from ECUC membership?

Network—through one-on-one exchange of ideas and information with others, like you, serving educational communities (teachers, administrators, students, support staff…and others) and those promoting member education.

Obtain—from our "ChalkTalk" newsletter ideas and information submitted by credit unions and others from across the United States—information that cannot be found in any other publication.

Not only one, but TEN copies are sent to you for distribution and circulation among your staff and official family. (Many of our members use them for Board education features each month.) You may also receive copies sent by email to you and others in your credit union, or you may download current and past issues from our web site.

Access—our complete "Directory of Education Credit Unions"—containing the names, addresses, asset and member sizes, CEOs, telephone and fax numbers, URLs, and email addresses of credit unions serving educational communities—all across the U.S.

Link—to the web sites of ECUC members and learn how they are using the latest technology to reach and serve educators and others in their field of membership.

Receive—online listings from our unique Services Data Base program providing information on more than sixty different programs and services offered by our ECUC members. Don’t "reinvent the wheel." Gain from our experience and learn exactly what others are doing on particular programs.

Attend—our Educational Annual Conference— one of the finest available, at one of the most affordable costs. The Conference features sessions on the economy, operations, human resources, regulation, marketing, and more—planned by credit union professionals for credit union professionals.

How are membership fees established?

Since its organization in 1972, ECUC has remained committed to maintaining an affordable dues structure to provide an opportunity for every credit union to benefit from its programs and services. An annual dues payment of $350.00 enables all of your official family and staff to take part in ECUC programs and educational opportunities.
