MEMBER PROFILE
The Credit Path


As Alternatives Credit Union has grown and changed, our use of the Credit Path model of financial empowerment has changed as well. Originally developed by Bill Myers as a way of understanding our members' financial situations and incorporating that into our business planning, the Credit Path describes where people are situated at various points along a continuum between poverty and self-sufficiency. Our job, as a community development financial institution, is to help our members move along that continuum by empowering them to make decisions, and offering opportunities, that will move them towards financial self-sufficiency.<

Annual Meeting

COME TO OUR ANNUAL MEETING!
With Guest Speaker Meizhu Lui

Mark your calendars now and plan to attend Alternatives Annual Meeting on May 18.

We are fortunate to have as our guest speaker Meizhu Lui, Executive Director of United for a Fair Economy, a national non-profit organization that tackles the growing economic divide. Co-author of a new book, The Color of Wealth: the Story Behind the US Racial Wealth Divide, Meizhu will expose the growing economic inequality in our society, and highlight the enormous economic gap between whites and people of color. She will unearth the roots of this inequality, and talk about what we can do to get back on track toward a fair economy.

The Annual Meeting also features:
The Volunteer of the Year Award
The Youth Volunteer Award
The Jeff Furman Award for a Socially Responsibility in Business

Join us for dinner, a short business meeting, awards and a speaker you don't want to miss.
