Credit union employees’ annual tradition: gift to CADD
December 14, 2017 | Jim Townsend
For the fourth year in a row, Gulf Coast Educators Federal Credit Union employees have continued their support of University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities. The employees – about 20 of whom are UH-Clear Lake alumni and students – held office fundraisers as part of an ongoing “Give Local” campaign to support area agencies and organizations, particularly those that support teachers and education. Fundraisers included “buying” the right to wear jeans on Fridays.
Above (from left), Jennifer Fritz, associate professor of behavioral analysis and director of CADD’s Severe Behavior Disorders Research Clinic, and Dorothea Lerman, professor of psychology and CADD director, receive a $1,000 check from GCEFCU employees Michael Barry, senior vice president (BBA, 2000); Jessica Rodriguez, business development coordinator; Jamieson Mackay, senior vice president (MBA, 2003); Caylee Smith, marketing coordinator (B.S., 2013); and Sonia Ponchak, vice president (B.S., 2006).
Founded in 1948, the credit union was created by, and for, people who work in education in Harris, Brazoria and Galveston counties.
UH-Clear Lake established CADD in 2008 to address the needs of parents, teachers and caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder. For more information, visit www.uhcl.edu/autism-center.
