To help conclude the celebration of Pride Month, UMassFive College Federal Credit Union (UMassFive) is pleased to announce the organization has joined the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce. A longstanding supporter of the LGBT community, this new partnership will allow the local credit union to further extend its reach, particularly with local LGBT businesses.
“This partnership is a natural fit for UMassFive,” stated Lauren Duffy, UMassFive’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “The Credit Union has always been committed to putting the best interests of our members and local businesses first, and one of the ways to do that is by assuring that diversity, equity, and inclusion are in the fabric of our organizational culture. Joining forces with the MA LGBT Chamber allows us to further this mission”.
"Our Chamber is proud to add UMassFive as a partner," said Grace Moreno, Executive Director of the MA LGBT Chamber of Commerce. "Ensuring that we have strong institutional partners across the state, especially in western Massachusetts, will benefit LGBTQ-owned and operated businesses of all sizes and bring more economic prosperity to our communities."
Collaborating with the MA LGBT Chamber opens the door for UMassFive to sponsor the Western MA branch of the LGBT Chamber of Commerce networking events, participate in additional volunteer opportunities, host educational financial workshops, participate in job fairs, and much more.
