June 2014 Think Tank Recap

My Credit Union Matters!

Fall 2014 Newsletter

CUYLM would like to thank

everyone that joined the

festivities of Think Tank

2014!!! Overall it was a

huge success with over 60

Credit Union Employee’s in

attendance.

To kick off the morning

everyone had a great

opportunity to mingle and

share ideas with other up

and coming Young Leaders!

It was great to see everyone

participating in the

brainstorming session and

table discussions. A lot of

wonderful ideas were

brought to the table and a

lot of connections made.

CUYLM would also like to

thank all our “Books” that

supported and took time out

of their busy schedule to

participate in our Human

Library. Amazing stories

were shared and

enlightened our young

minds. The energy in the

room was outstanding and

couldn’t have made this

possible without “YOU”.

We sincerely hope everyone

enjoyed the day as much as

us and truly look forward to

bring your ideas into the

light!!

The My Credit Union Matters! campaign is a system wide effort to raise awareness in Ottawa of the differences between credit unions and banks. The campaign aims to drive home the message that higher taxes are limiting credit unions’ ability to lend to local small businesses and families and contribute to important

community groups and projects. As such, the campaign is promoting a proposed Capital Growth Tax Credit for credit unions. The tax credit would re-establish a competitive balance between credit unions and the big banks. To succeed in getting our message heard we need your help. It’s easy go to
