WASHINGTON — GECU President/CEO Harriet May attended a meeting yesterday with President George W. Bush in recognition of Financial Literacy Day.
The purpose of the meeting "was to outline what's being done about educating young people on financial matters," May, a CUNA executive committee member, explained. She took the opportunity to explain the financial literacy efforts of her credit union. The President asked if all credit unions do that type of work to which she replied, "Yes, they do."
During the hour-long meeting, May was able to speak more informally with President Bush about the work GECU is doing in the Colonias in El Paso to help obtain clear title of the land they had lived on for many years and provide affordable mortgages to build homes to replace the shacks they were living in. The President was very interested given his Texas roots and First Lady Laura Bush having some family in the El Paso area.
