FRESNO, Calif. (July 28, 2025) – In recognition of its ongoing commitment to expanding financial services and education throughout the community, Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU) was celebrated by The Fresno Center with a red carpet event on July 28.
As part of the celebration, The
Fresno Center presented EECU with a special plaque and meaningful Hmong
necklace in appreciation of its dedication to advancing financial empowerment.
“At EECU, we believe financial
empowerment is key to building stronger communities,” said Elizabeth J. Dooley,
EECU president and CEO. “We’re honored to support The Fresno Center’s
incredible work and to bring convenient access to financial services and
education to the individuals and families they serve.”
During the event, Dooley
announced that all employees of The Fresno Center are eligible for EECU
membership. EECU will continue expanding access to financial education through
specialized workshops designed for The Fresno Center’s employees and clients.
“Financial literacy is not just
about dollars and centers — it’s about empowerment, education, wellness, and
the ability to shape one’s future with confidence and clarity,” said Pao Yang,
The Fresno Center president and CEO. “These efforts reflect our core values and
our deep commitment to helping individuals and families thrive.”
The event also featured an open
house of EECU’s Mobile Branch, which regularly visits The Fresno Center’s
campus. The branch-on-wheels provides convenient banking access for employees,
clients, and local residents.
