The support of MCEE’s partners makes our support of Maryland’s educators and students possible.This month, we’re highlighting Educational Systems Federal Credit Union.

The fit between Educational Systems Federal Credit Union and MCEE couldn’t be better. Educational Systems Federal Credit Union was formed by educators in 1955 and proudly serves teachers, administrators, support staff, parents, and students. In fact, Educational Systems Federal Credit Union’s first loan was made to a teacher who needed to buy a car to get to work. This shared commitment to supporting educators aligns our work and enhances our meaningful partnership.

Said Dominic Powell, Educational Systems Federal Credit Union Vice President, Business Development and Partnerships, “in working with the Maryland Council on Economic Education, we can provide financial literacy that meets Maryland’s standards across the state.”

Educational Systems Federal Credit Union’s sponsorship helps more schools and students access MCEE programs such as the Stock Market Game and the Personal Finance Challenge. “Our top priority is the financial well-being of the education community,” explained Powell. “By leveraging these programs in the classroom, students learn real life skills that will support them as they prepare for their life after high school.”

This partnership expands all the way into the classroom. Through MCEE, Educational Systems Federal Credit Union participates in panel discussions, class presentations, and speaker series that reinforce the personal finance and economics concepts students are learning. They also partner with MCEE in providing helpful books and resources for classrooms.

Said Powell, “we are proud to be a long-standing partner of the Maryland Council on Economic Education. We look forward to a continued partnership!”

A huge thanks to Educational Systems Federal Credit Union for the ongoing support.
