From Humble Beginnings
From the events of an age long past, and now
remembered by only a few, a wealth of memory can
be found in our history books of the year when the
chrome of the new Chevrolets was thick, and the car
hop was filled with youngsters rolling their nickels
into the jukebox. Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll,
released his hit “Jailhouse Rock” in 1957. America’s
favorite television show, “I love Lucy,” was in its
final season of production, and Dr. Seuss penned his
children’s classic, “The Cat in the Hat”. 1957 was
also a year of uncertainty as the Cold War gained
momentum. Sputnik, the first man-made satellite,
was also launched into space that same year. More
world-changing events transpired that year, including the civil rights movement and the consequential
reshaping of America that took place as schools were
forcibly integrated in Little Rock, Arkansas. 50th Anniversary
Celebration

In a year of events that shook the world, the country, and television sets, a lesser-known event
transpired that would affect the lives of countless affiliates of Weber College in Ogden, Utah. On January 24, 1957, in the Coral room of Building 4, the founding meeting of the credit union was held. Ten
members each pledged $5.00 to a new ideal and officially organized what stands today as Weber State
Federal Credit Union, though at the time it was called differently. The Weber College Employees Federal Credit Union, as it was originally named, was founded on the principles of financial assistance and
a desire to bring affordable financial services to its members and their families.
Since the time of its founding, the credit union has seen exponential growth in its membership
base and total asset size. Numerous financial products and services have been added throughout the
years to meet growing member needs. The credit union now serves over 9,000 members holding over
$72 million in assets. The last fifty years have been rich with history and change for the credit union,
and with the continued support of the board, the employees, and especially the members, Weber State
Credit Union will continue to be a strong presence in the community and a continued source of financial services for its members.
The completed history of the credit union will be given at the annual meeting on April 26th.
Reserve your place at the dinner and meeting by calling 801-866-1098
