Juntos Avanzamos Program Starts in Texas Credit Unions

Ramon Imperial Zuniga, Caja Popular Mexicana's CEO along with Neighborhood Credit Union's CEO, Chet Kimmel raise the Juntos Avanzamos program flag. The program is a Texas Credit Union League initiative aimed at empowering credit unions in the state to serve their Hispanic market more effectively.




Linda Webb-Manon, from the Texas League worked with Caja Popular Mexicana in the designation process. Webb-Manon says: "Having a representative from Mexico come and literally 'flag' the credit union not only legitimizes the program, but also demonstrates the cooperative nature of credit unions and their commitment to ensuring that Hispanics on both sides of the border have access to financial services."

The first credit unions to be honored with the designation are Neighborhood Credit Union in Dallas, West Texas Credit Union in El Paso, and San Antonio City Employees FCU in San Antonio. More pictures here
