FRESNO, Calif. (March 30, 2026) – Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU) proudly sponsored the Annual Laotian Educational Conference hosted by the Laotian American Community of Fresno, which was held March 27 at the Fresno State Satellite Student Union.
The inspiring event brought
together junior high and high school students from across the region to explore
the importance of education and gain the tools and resources needed to succeed.
This year’s conference focused
on artificial intelligence and how it is shaping careers and college pathways,
while also connecting students with Lao professionals and student mentors who
shared their personal experiences and guidance.
“Events like this open doors
for students to see what’s possible,” said Elizabeth J. Dooley, EECU president
and CEO. “When young people can connect with mentors and explore real career
paths, it builds confidence and helps them envision a future they can achieve.”
Through workshops, panel
discussions, and networking opportunities, students gained valuable insight
into emerging career fields and the educational paths that can help them reach
their goals. The event also highlighted the importance of cultural connection
and community support in student success.
EECU remains committed to
supporting educational initiatives that uplift students and strengthen the
communities it serves. By partnering with organizations like the Laotian
American Community of Fresno, EECU continues to invest in the next generation
of leaders.
