Announcement: Register Now for DEI Tuesday Reception at NCUA’s DEI Summit
October 13, 2023
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC), the CU DEI Collective, CU Pride, the Hawaiian Pacific Islanders Credit Union Professionals (HAPICUP), Inclusiv, and the National Association of Latino Credit Unions and Professionals (NLCUP) have come together again to host the DEI Tuesday Reception on October 31, 2023 at the Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill in advance of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) 2023 DEI Summit taking place November 1-2, 2023 in Washington, DC.
Launched three years ago at CUNA’s Governmental Affairs Conference by AACUC, Inclusiv and NLCUP as a platform to support, provide visibility and promote the work of DEI-centric organizations, DEI Tuesday has been integrated into events by a growing number of credit union organizations.
“We’re extremely excited that NCUA is supporting our DEI efforts, and I want to extend my gratitude to all of those who are making DEI Tuesday a staple at their conferences,” said Barbara Mojica, NLCUP Executive Director.
Since then, other DEI-centric organizations such as CU Pride and HAPICUP have also joined DEI Tuesday, which is supported by the CU DEI Collective.
“The industry has taken great strides to ensure our professionals, members, and communities are seen and encouraged to be their authentic selves,” said Zach Christensen, CU Pride Executive Director. “DEI Tuesday is a beacon to all that inclusion and belonging are now basic table stakes in this evolving world, and, in solidarity, we can bring financial wellbeing to all.”
“HAPICUP is proud to be one of the newest organizations to join the CU space,” said Jennifer Esperanza, HAPICUP co-founder. “We are a small but highly motivated group of Hawaiian, Asian American and Pacific Islanders who want to raise awareness of the issues that affect our communities. We also want to promote more of us to be part of the credit union movement.”
The DEI Tuesday Reception will take place from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on October 31, 2023 at the Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill. NCUA Chairman Todd Harper and NCUA Board Member Rodney Hood will deliver remarks. Additional speakers include:
