Who are we?

I represent GTE Federal Credit Union as a Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions board member. I started this blog to help raise awareness of our upcoming events. Our credit unions have not entered the "social web" yet, so this will be somewhat of a proof of concept for all of us. A little background on who we are...
The Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions consists of member credit unions in the Tampa Bay area. The Chapter Board is made up of representatives from several of these. Our mission is to help promote credit union awareness, collaborate with each other and promote the cooperative spirit. We organize and host educational events throughout the year for credit union staff as well as community events that contribute to local charities.
Our flagship event is the Cruise for Kids which in 2007 generated $50,000 in proceeds that went to 10 local childrens' charities. We also work closely with local schools to encourage and deliver financial planning curriculum.
