The National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions said the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates recently joined the Federation's Juntos Avanzamos designation program for credit unions.

Juntos Avanzamos was developed by the Cornerstone Credit Union League as a Hispanic outreach program in Texas. Today, the Federation is leading the national expansion of Juntos Avanzamos in partnership with Des Moines, Iowa-based Hispanic consulting firm Coopera, the Network of Latino Credit Unions and Professionals, Cornerstone Credit Union League, California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, Credit Union Association of New Mexico, Iowa Credit Union League, Mountain West Credit Union Association, and Northwest Credit Union Association. 

The network of Juntos Avanzamos credit unions now numbers 70, with the $748 million Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union celebrating their designation earlier this month.
