Video: Burlington Industries' CU Formed a Tight-Knit Family

In the late 1970s, when Martha Miller was asked to manage a credit union for Burlington Industries employees, she said, “What’s a credit union?” The Greensboro, NC resident went on to serve as CEO of Choice Federal Credit Union (originally Burlington Employees Federal CU), and ultimately became a leader in NC’s credit union movement. Ms. Miller is among the people interviewed in this short video history of Choice—a credit union that through many changes has maintained a strong family spirit.
