NAPERVILLE – July 27, 2023 – The Illinois Credit Union League (ICUL) announced today the selection of ten winning credit unions and three leagues in the Giving component of the July 28, 2023 #ILoveMyCreditUnion campaign. The #ILoveMyCreditUnion campaign brings the collaborative credit union movement together on one day to share authentic stories and high-energy conversation about why people love their credit union using the common hashtag.
