Much of the Illinois Credit Union League’s (ICUL) and ICUL Services Corp.’s (LSC) efforts to assist member credit unions focuses on financial literacy, says Libby Calderone, president/chief operations officer for LSC.
The league conducts financial literacy seminars (now virtual) in conjunction with many state legislators, allowing them to help their constituents improve their financial literacy and well-being.
The league also conducts virtual “reality fairs” to educate teenagers, Calderone says. She discussed the league’s and LSC’s efforts during the 2021 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.
Credit Union Magazine’s Fall 2022 issue highlights credit unions’ role in cryptocurrency, the state of digital assets, cannabis banking compliance, the human side of technology implementation, and involving the board in financial discussions.
