Senator Betty Little Tours UFirst Federal Credit Union

New York State Senator Betty Little visited UFirst FCU at the invitation of CEO Linda Bourgeois and Marketing Director Jody Carpenter on Thursday, October 23. The UFirst management team, staff and board members Bill Laundry and Ginny Brady welcomed Senator Little. Senator Little served in the NYS Assembly for seven years and was elected to the State Senate in 2002. She has been at the forefront of many legislative initiatives which affect the North Country and has taken the lead in introducing legislation related to property tax reform in New York State.

Senator Little received a tour of the credit union and was introduced to UFirst's front line staff. In addition to being briefed on the history of UFirst, she was introduced to the products and services offered to members. Following the tour Senator Little met with UFirst board members and management staff. Jody described the activities and services which make credit unions unique. She was particularly interested in the financial literacy programs which have been developed for area students and adults. She was introduced to the National Endowment for Financial Education program which UFirst has brought to schools in cooperation with local teachers and other area credit unions. Senator Little was given a packet of information and educational materials for use with the constituents she represents.

UFirst thanks Senator Little for taking the time to visit us and learn about the ways that our credit union is helping members meet current fiscal challenges.
