National Volunteer Week

WASHINGTON—It’s National Volunteer Week, and NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger, who is speaking at our Charlotte conference, is reaching out to credit unions and their volunteers in recognition of the event, which began Sunday and runs through Saturday.

This year is the 43rd anniversary of National Volunteer Week, established to celebrate volunteerism and recognize its contributions to communities and economic growth.

“In celebration of National Volunteer Week, I want to recognize the volunteers who are committed to the success of your credit union and your members,” Berger said in his message to credit union leaders. “They inspire by example so that others are motivated to serve and are the foundation of the credit union cooperative spirit.”

To those who volunteer within the credit union industry, Berger said, “I wish to personally thank you for your invaluable service to your community as a volunteer at your credit union. Your contributions are essential to credit unions' success in bringing financial services to the people who need it most, and your dedication is inspiring.”
