As noted yesterday [link], Local Government/CIVIC FCU is still a topic of high interest among SECU members. The move of LGFCU to the new "CIVIC" name and "independence" in June, 2025 remains a major legacy of the "new/new" culture at SECU.**
The flight by CIVIC from the 40-year partnership with SECU was a complex, difficult task. Everyone is hoping for success; @ 400,000 CIVIC members in North Carolina have got their fingers crossed.
✅ Chip Filson is a long-term credit union advocate, having served as a state/NCUA regulator, data guru on CUs, and as an insightful commenter/blogger on all things cooperative. Filson's blog: "Just a Member" featured one take on CIVIC yesterday. Worth a read [link]!
✅ The second opportunity to learn more about CIVIC is to sign on to its two scheduled "Local Connect" online meetings with top brass at the Credit Union:
"Fall virtual meetings: Tuesday, October 14 and Thursday, November 6. All virtual meetings are from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m."
[Local in-person meetings are available too! Sign up here: [link]
The Civic leadership team will share valuable updates about recent challenges and solutions, digital how-to tips, and other information about moving forward together. Most important, you can ask questions about what matters most to you."
