Renée Sattiewhite on the Commitment to Change

Much like the rest of the country, the credit union movement is engaged in crucial conversations about understanding structural racism, advancing social justice, and prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Leading many of these discussions is the African American Credit Union Coalition, or AACUC. 

In June, the AACUC launched Commitment to Change: Credit Unions Unite Against Racism. This initiative focuses on unification, education, conversations, and investments that will move the credit union movement into a future where diversity, equity, and inclusion can thrive. 

In this episode, guest host Lauren Williams, CUNA's media relations manager, speaks with Renee Sattiewhite, president and CEO of AACUC. 

They discuss the philosophy behind the Commitment to Change initiative, how credit unions can support communities of color, advice for allies, and more.
