Mid-level managers and department heads need to not only be effective in their own job duties, they must do so while simultaneously wearing several other hats. They are responsible for leading and coaching-up their team; they must instill accountability and high employee morale. They also devote quite a bit of time to prioritizing members needs to ensure satisfaction. Many times being the main point of contact for both employees and members also means that they sometimes must have to engage in challenging conversations as well. Their management style has a tremendous impact on overall workplace well being.

The Lafayette Chapter of Credit Unions partnered up with “Foster the Love Louisiana, Inc” during the holidays to collect pajamas.

 

Foster the Love mission and vision:

“We exist to provide support and resources to the foster community in South Louisiana”. Our mission is to encourage and support foster and adoptive families; to empower and support children, youth and families affected by trauma; and to educate the community on the needs of the foster system.

 

The pajamas are used for their “First Nights Bags” which are reusable, overnight bags that are filled with clothing and hygiene essentials and are given to children as they enter care.

 

With the support of 5 member credit unions, the Chapter collected 220 sets of pajamas and $620 which was delivered by the executive committee on January 20^th.
