Numerica Credit Union was recognized as this year’s Echo Award honoree at the Girl Scouts Sweets Before Supper event on March 8. The annual event honors local Women of Distinction, as well as one community organization whose impact creates an “echo of good” within Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho and beyond.
“At Numerica, we believe that the strength of a community lies in its ability to lift each other up,” said Carla Cicero, Numerica president and CEO. “The Girl Scouts are doing the important work of eliminating financial barriers so young girls can thrive in safe, healthy environments. It’s an honor to partner with them, knowing that together, we’re building brighter futures for the next generation of leaders.”
As part of Numerica CARES for Kids, an initiative aimed at lifting children out of poverty, Numerica has partnered with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho to help expand access to life-changing programs. This includes Coffee for a Cause, a partnership with Swigg Coffee in the Tri-Cities that has raised $15,000 for local Girl Scout initiatives since 2023, as well as hosting scouts at Gonzaga Women’s Basketball’s FanFest event, where they connected with female athletes and role models.
