As we enter the new year, we’re reminded of the many GOOD things that happened in 2021. Check it out!
We’re thrilled to announce that our President and CEO, Geri LaChance, was selected by the California and Nevada Credit Union League as the 2021 California Advocate of the Year. Each year, the League honors credit unions, individuals and organizations that display extraordinary leadership in advocacy and political action.
On September 1, 2021, SESLOC supported a call to action from the Credit Union National Association, along with credit unions across the country, to alert our members of a concerning addition to the $3.5 trillion infrastructure spending bill that was proposed in Congress.
On Thursday, October 21, 2021, credit unions around the globe toasted to their members in celebration of International Credit Union Day. Credit unions like SESLOC are not-for-profit, which means we offer affordable loans, lower fees, and many free services to help our member-owners get ahead and achieve financial freedom.
SESLOC competed with other San Luis Obispo County organizations in Rideshare’s Summer Clean Air Challenge, and thanks to the efforts of our employees, we came out on top!
We’re thrilled to be back on the Cal Poly campus to welcome students starting the new academic year! Our newest branch and ATM are officially open in the Julian A. McPhee University Union (next to Starbucks) to serve the financial needs of the campus community.
Have you ever thought about joining a credit union but didn’t think you could? Well fear not – YOU CAN JOIN! If you’re anything like the average American, you know that you could be doing better than your bank. On average credit unions offer better deals and more personalized service.
We want to share with you how SESLOC and other credit unions stand out as a reliable and secure option for consumers and small businesses in our local communities.
