Metro Credit Union, the Commonwealth’s largest state-chartered credit union welcomed Chelsea’s prestigious community leaders to its Latino Economic Advancement Advisory Council.
In an effort to create effective solutions and address challenges facing members in different stages of the financial spectrum, Metro Credit Union has taken an active role in the economic development of the Latino and Immigrant community, the fastest and largest growing segment of our population. The advisory council engages community leaders in the development and execution of ideas designed to help individuals with wealth creation.
“It is an honor to be part of a coalition focused on moving individuals towards economic stability. Working alongside a culturally diverse group of individuals including Robert Cashman, President and CEO of Metro Credit Union, to discuss challenges and create solutions that help members of our community succeed is a privilege,” said Alberto Vasallo, El Mundo Newspaper / Channel 7.
This initiative began in April with a Boston Chapter and will continue to meet on a regular basis to develop an economic growth strategy that addresses the obstacles that face the Hispanic community.
