Bill > J00970

This resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of AmeriCU Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial institution headquartered in Rome, New York, which was originally founded in 1950 as the Griffiss Employees Credit Union by a group of civilian employees at Griffiss Air Force Base. The resolution highlights the credit union's remarkable growth from its humble beginnings with just $68 in pooled assets to its current status as a substantial financial institution with $2.7 billion in assets, 20 financial centers, and over 167,000 members across 24 counties in Central New York, the Mohawk Valley, Northern New York, and the Southern Tier. The legislative body acknowledges AmeriCU Credit Union's leadership in the credit union industry, its commitment to empowering members and supporting communities, and its planned year-long celebration marking 75 years of service. The resolution formally pauses to commemorate the credit union's anniversary and directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to AmeriCU Credit Union, recognizing its significant contributions to local and state economies and its positive impact on community quality of life.
