DCUC Hosts Fourth Annual Hawaii Sub-Council Luncheon

The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) hosted its fourth annual Hawaii Sub-Council luncheon on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, at the Pacific Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Hawaii Sub-Council was formed in 2020 and created to support the interests of DCUC member credit unions serving the financial needs of servicemembers and veterans across the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii remains home to more than 100,000 military personnel, veterans, dependents, and DoD personnel from all branches of the U.S. armed forces.

In addition to hosting the annual luncheon, DCUC visited with several of its member credit union CEOs including Aloha Pacific FCU, Hickam FCU, Pearl Hawaii FCU, Hawaiian Financial FCU, HOCU, Ko’olau FCU, and Schofield FCU.

“We value the support Tony Hernandez provided us to address some challenges we had with our on-base branch facility,” said Scott Kaulukukui, Hickam FCU president/CEO. “During his visit to Hawaii, as part of the sub-council meeting, we were able to discuss and see firsthand what those challenges were and the impact it would have to our credit union.”

During the Hawaii Sub-Council luncheon, DCUC and the group of credit union leaders discussed current advocacy priorities, potential and emerging concerns, and how DCUC will be continuing to lay the groundwork for this unique sub-council.

“The Hawaii Sub-Council meeting continues to be an important annual event for DCUC and its member credit unions,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC president/CEO. “Not only is it great to meet with our members face to face, but we can discuss in more detail evolving needs and concerns and celebrate ways these credit unions are making a difference in their local communities.”
