The School Representative Program

The School Representative Program was formed in 1953. Since then, it has been one of the primary ways that school employees learn about the many benefits of Credit Union membership. Thanks to this grassroots program, the Credit Union now has 149,000 members and continues to be able to offer both great rates and outstanding service. 

The role of a School Representative is:

• Encourage coworkers to join the Credit Union.

• Distribute flyers describing the Educator Rewards^SM discount package.

• Schedule on-site visits for a Schools Financial employee to answer questions about Credit Union membership.

• Provide feedback to help us better serve your school/district and its employees.

Ongoing support for School Representatives
Holly Brown, Schools Membership Development Specialist, is available to answer all of your questions, provide you with materials and make on-site visits. School Representatives receive our bi-annual newsletter, the Rep Report, which includes information on special promotions and benefits exclusively for educational employees.
