The Difference

The Difference impacts public and policymaker perceptions of Wisconsin's credit unions by showcasing how credit unions maximize their People-Before-Profit cooperative potential to meet the needs of members and their communities. There truly is a Credit Union Difference, and through this program we seek to share this difference widely and inspire credit unions across the state to find new and exciting ways to live out their mission!
