When Credit Unions rive,
Communities rive
C
redit unions have long played an important role in Connecticut's financial
landscape. With deep roots in the communities they serve, their impact reach-
es beyond traditional financial services — helping individuals and families
build financial security, supporting local businesses and investing in the com-
munities they call home.
For this special Hartford Business Journal section, we invited two of our credit union
partners to share their perspectives on the role credit unions play in strengthening Con-
necticut's communities and economy.
In the pages that follow, Hartford Federal Credit Union and Sikorsky Credit Union offer a
look at that impact from their own unique perspectives. From expanding financial educa-
tion and helping individuals build greater financial confidence to supporting businesses,
investing locally and creating opportunities for future generations, their stories demon-
strate the many ways credit unions contribute to a stronger Connecticut.
While each institution has its own history, approach and areas of focus, both share a
commitment to the people, businesses and communities they serve.
At Hartford Business Journal, we value the opportunity to provide a platform for Con-
necticut business leaders to share their perspectives and highlight the work taking place
across our state.
We thank Hartford Federal Credit Union and Sikorsky Credit Union for participating in
this special section and sharing their insights with our readers.
