Mission Statement

To support the growth of the credit union movement and financial literacy through education and public awareness of credit unions.

The North Dakota Credit Union League Family Involvement Team is a volunteer committee that was created in the early seventies in efforts to support the growth of the credit union movement by developing youth and teen marketing initiatives as well as encouraging credit unions to become more involved in youth financial education through classroom presenting.

As a volunteer committee of the North Dakota Credit Union League, the FIT follows its own bylaws and manages its own budget. The FIT is made up of credit union employees from the seven regions of the state and strives to maintain equal or adequate representation from different asset-size credit unions. The FIT welcomes a total of 14 members. It is the responsibility of the FIT to recruit members from across the state every two years, allowing the current members to maintain their role on the Committee, if they so choose, or to step down to allow another volunteer from their region to serve.

The FIT elects a chair, vice-chair and secretary from within the Committee once a year at their annual meeting that is held in conjunction with the League annual meeting. To provide additional support and structure, a League liaison is directly involved in all FIT activities. The liaison is responsible for reporting the FIT’s activities to the NDCUL Board of Directors.
