ITHACA, N.Y. — Kevin Mietlicki, president and CEO of Alternatives Credit Union in Ithaca, became a trustee of the New York Credit Union Foundation at the start of this year. He will serve a three-year term on its board.

“Credit unions that I have been a part of in the past have used the Foundation,” Mietlicki said in a foundation news release. “I hope to spread the word so that more credit unions will see the Foundation’s value.”

The New York Credit Union Foundation is the charitable arm of the New York Credit Union Association (NYCUA). The trustees are responsible for overseeing the operations of the foundation while establishing policies and grant programs to help fulfill its mission of positively impacting New Yorkers through credit unions. By providing grants and other financial aid, the foundation helps credit unions to teach critical financial skills to adults, youth, and children; enhance member service with new technologies and initiatives; provide staff and volunteers with training opportunities; and distribute relief funds to those impacted by natural disasters.

Alternatives is a community development financial institution (CDFI) credit union serving Tompkins, Tioga, Cortland, Cayuga, Seneca, Schuyler, Steuben, and Chemung counties.
