University Credit Union (UCU) is pleased to welcome Brittany Hopkins to the credit union’s growing team of Community Engagement Managers (CEMs), who represent UCU in communities throughout the state. From UCU’s 15 Main Street headquarters in Orono, Hopkins will cover central Maine alongside Community Engagement Managers Jenn Deschene in Presque Isle and Lesley Ridge in Portland.
UCU’s Community Engagement Managers are positive, passionate, and motivated ambassadors, who work to build relationships with community stakeholders to advance the financial well-being of Maine people. They volunteer and participate in local activities; serve on nonprofit boards and committees; host financial education workshops and events to improve financial literacy; engage with local municipalities, schools, and institutions as a community partner; and identify opportunities for financial sponsorship.
“Our growing Community Engagement Team continues to be a positive force within communities throughout the state of Maine,” said Renee Ouellette, President and CEO of UCU. “Jenn, Lesley, and Brittany are on the ground every day listening and engaging, and delivering financial education, sponsorship, and volunteer service where it’s needed most.”
Hopkins joins UCU from the University of Maine, where she worked in the Office of Admissions and the Advanced Structures and Composites Center since 2016. Hopkins is a 2016 graduate of the University of Maine at Farmington and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Language and Development in Children.
