Promising to be trusted source of information

One of our seven service promises is be a trusted source for financial information. We live this out in a number of ways and we have made education a big priority as highlighted by some of the following:

• One obvious way is our financial education webinar series. Visit https://www.gcefcu.org/webinars.php for a complete list. 
• Another is our commitment to provide BALANCE to our members at no charge. This program offers free, confidential financial counseling, budgeting tools, online member education and so much more.
• We require our employees to complete product certification and other online education modules from credit union university on a yearly basis. 
• We belong to trade associations, review industry journals and attend educational meetings on a regular basis. 

There are other ways that we that we try to be a trusted source of information that doesn't necessarily have to do directly with financial matters. We are an education credit union as such, we try to stay informed on issues that could affect our school district partners.  School funding is certainly one of those issues. Several of the management staff will be going to Austin as part of different affiliations we have and we will share our message and concern over school funding.

We will chronicle one such trip to Austin on our facebook page on February 16th. We'd also invite our members to get involved this year as the legislature meets at this critical time.
