CUES Emerge: Emerge Contestant Lindsey Walker Discusses 'Reducing Linguistic Barriers' Business Case
CUbroadcast
Lindsey Walker, Executive Assistant at Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union, discusses her CUES Emerge competition business case: "Reducing Linguistic Barriers – Hispanic Outreach Program."
Lindsey explains that providing translated documents in Spanish is critical for her credit union to further serve and reach the growing Hispanic population in Tampa, many whom are underserved and unbanked. Over the past few decades, immigration from Spanish-speaking countries has spiked more than 200%, triggering social and economic change in the area. Florida is now the third largest Hispanic populated state and locally, Tampa was a top destination for those escaping Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria devastation in Puerto Rico. With the migration of Spanish-speaking individuals to the Tampa area, it is a necessity for Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union to provide collateral in Spanish.
