About Us

The Southwest Washington Chapter of Credit Unions is made up of eleven credit unions from Southwest Washington in Clark and Cowlitz Counties. We exist to promote cooperation among our member credit unions and provide a means of exchanging ideas and discussing solutions to industry-related challenges.

What We Do

  • The Southwest Washington Chapter facilitates meetings and/or programs that provide networking opportunities and are educational, motivational, and informative
  • We provide a forum for cooperative efforts that inspire continued expansion and service on the part of member credit unions; and that develop and maintain public awareness of the credit union industry
  • We provide and support training opportunities for credit union leaders, including volunteers and staff
  • We facilitate political and legislative involvement
  • We are committed to partnering with others to improve the quality of life in Southwest Washington through volunteer efforts of our member credit unions and our own joint efforts

Benefits of Volunteering

Chapter Board service is a unique and rewarding experience for upcoming credit union leaders.  Serving on a chapter board provides exposure to different leadership styles, corporate cultures and business models.  It expands your perspective, training you to see issues from a board-level point of view, while also giving you recognition as a leader within the credit union movement.

Serving on the chapter board will:
  • Extend your professional and personal networks
  • Introduce you to senior executives from other credit unions, chapters and industry leaders
  • Develop your leadership skills and give you experience with serving at a regional board level
  • Offer fun and creative opportunities for collaboration on meetings and special events
  • Contribute to the overall promotion of the credit union movement within in the industry and community
  • Plan special events
