LAS VEGAS–As it kicks off its REACH Conference here, the California Credit Union League is marking its 90th birthday.
“What initially began as a modest volunteer organization in 1933 with a specific political agenda has evolved into a well-established, highly skilled, and professional association,” the league said. “The league’s story from 1933 to 2023 is its member credit unions’ story. It’s one of commitment, dedication, exhilaration — and at times, despair. It’s a journey through the eyes of individuals who fell in love with ideals and spent their lives helping others discover the great credit union story.”
The league has created a 90th Anniversary site that includes an interactive timeline and a special decade-by-decade journey through the past, including:
- 1920 – 1939: The ‘Father’ of Our Movement
- 1940 – 1949: Helping Others Help Themselves
- 1950 – 1959: Finding Our Cooperative Spirit
- 1960 – 1969: Enigmatic Spirit, Growth, and Drama
- 1970 – 1979: Communication, Technology, and Corporates
- 1980 – 1989: Growing Complexity and Greater Coordination
- 1990 – 1999: Political Advocacy Takes Center Stage
- 2000 – 2023: We are Honored to Continue Serving YOU
The league said that during its REACH 2023 event it will recognize and honor the leagues’ heritage.
