From October 12 through October 16, employees at participating credit unions can swap business attire for casual wear—while supporting advocacy for the credit union movement.
Dress Down Week raises funds for America’s Credit Unions PAC, helping amplify credit union voices in the political process. If your credit union is taking part, you can join by making a contribution (at an amount set by your credit union) in exchange for the privilege of dressing casually for the week. “Casual” is defined by each participating credit union.
How to Participate:
Check Eligibility: Ask your HR department or manager whether your credit union is participating.
Contribute: Make the contribution amount determined by your credit union.
Dress Casual: Follow your credit union’s definition of casual attire to show your support for credit unions and their advocacy efforts. Download the sign-up sheet and poster to support this event.
What Happened to CULAC?
You might be wondering why the title looks a little different. While the name of Dress Down Week has changed, your funds will continue to go to the same place: the federal PAC. Both the state and federal PAC were previously known as ‘CULAC’ and now have new names. Following CUNA and NAFCU’s merger into America’s Credit Unions, the federal PAC was renamed ‘America’s Credit Unions PAC’ (or ACU PAC for short). In the interest of both modernizing and clarifying the distinction between the two PACs, the League has made the decision to rename our state PAC to “Maine’s Credit Unions PAC” (or MCU PAC for short).
