At Arise Community Credit Union, we believe that building a more equitable financial future takes more than great products — it takes community. That's why we're inviting you to Arise Together: Community & Unity in Banking, a special evening reception bringing together the leaders, partners, and advocates who share our vision for inclusive, community-centered banking.
What Is Arise Together?
Arise Together is a networking reception designed to connect philanthropic, corporate, civic, and community leaders who are committed to advancing financial health, equity, and opportunity in Minnesota. It's an evening of genuine conversation, meaningful connection, and shared purpose — the kind of gathering that moves ideas into action.
As Minnesota's first Black-led chartered credit union, Arise CCU was built to serve communities that have historically been excluded from traditional financial systems. This event is a celebration of that mission — and an open invitation to be part of what comes next.
What to Expect
Guests will enjoy a warm, high-energy reception with heavy appetizers and beverages, along with:
-
Meaningful connection with leaders from philanthropy, business, government, and community organizations
-
Remarks from Francis Odhiambo, Arise CCU CEO, on our mission, vision, and the road ahead
-
An opportunity to engage with Arise as a trusted financial partner committed to lasting, systemic change
This is not a formal conference — it's a space to connect, listen, and celebrate the power of community-centered banking.
Who Should Attend?
Arise Together is for anyone who believes that financial equity is community work. We're especially excited to connect with:
-
Philanthropic and corporate leaders
-
Civic and government partners
-
Faith-based and community organizations
-
Economic development and racial equity advocates
-
Current Arise members, partners, and supporters
If you're passionate about building a Twin Cities where everyone has access to fair, trustworthy financial services — this evening is for you.
