Organization
South Carolina Federal is a community-chartered credit union. This means South Carolina Federal can serve anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school within certain community boundaries as defined by the NCUA. (See “Membership” below.)
Credit unions are owned and governed by the people who use its services. Those people are called “members” and each member is an equal owner of the institution. Members elect and serve as the credit union’s volunteer board of directors, which establishes and reviews policies, based on what is best for the collective membership.
South Carolina Federal’s Supervisory Committee, made up of volunteers appointed by the board, is responsible to ensure that the credit union’s financial condition is presented accurately in financial statements and that management practices and procedures safeguard members' assets.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
