SAFE Credit Union
Forging Partnerships To Better Our Communities
Ashley Tate is an enormous asset to not only SAFE Credit Union , but also to the Sacramento region . As SAFE ’ s public affairs specialist , she works closely within the bank ’ s community relations department on public relations and is responsible for managing sponsorship of the SAFE Credit Union Convention and Performing Arts District , one of Sacramento ’ s most frequented attractions .
Tate ’ s background includes roles as a retail manager , which fostered her love of customer relations , and with Align Capital Region , where she worked to convene employers , educators , community leaders and elected officials to make a positive community impact . It was through this work that she realized she wanted to join the SAFE Credit Union team , recognizing SAFE ’ s community involvement and philanthropic efforts .
As part of SAFE ’ s 25-year commitment and investment in the SAFE Credit Union Convention and Performing Arts District , Tate is eager to see financial literacy workshops hosted for the community at the venue . “ Financial literacy is one of my passions ,” she says . “ I would love for SAFE to leverage any opportunities to host financial literacy
classes there , bringing students from the school districts we work with together to learn the basics of credit cards , auto loans , mortgages , budgeting and more .”
Throughout her work life , Tate has championed the concept of bringing multiple organizations and voices to the table . “ Recently , I ’ ve been very involved with many local chambers of commerce , school districts and employers through SAFE ’ s community relations team ,” she says . “ I ’ m also always looking for organizations we can partner with and assist . SAFE employees get 16 hours of paid time to volunteer , so keeping our employees engaged while helping nonprofits is one of my goals , too .”
Tate refers to SAFE ’ s public relations efforts as the product of a well-oiled team and looks forward to continuing their community involvement and philanthropy throughout the region . “ SAFE is growing in membership , which will allow us to grow philanthropically , too ,” she says . “ We are eager for all of the possibilities !”
