Achieve's History-In early 1958, a small group of teachers met one evening at Midview High School in Grafton, Ohio to discuss the possibility of forming a credit union. One teacher, John Bartter, was rather hesitant about this new concept. Little did he know this meeting would lead to a 39-year career. The organization, first known as the Midview Credit Union, received its charter, No. 841, on February 21, 1958. At an organizational meeting the following month, each of those in attendance was asked to contribute money to pay the fee for the charter. Mr. Bartter just happened to have the total amount ($20) with him. His colleagues joked that anyone who had any money the day before payday should is elected treasurer. Thus, Bartter became the first treasurer. Foreseeing a need for a credit union to serve the county, the committee applied to expand, after only seven months. In September 1958, the credit union received approval to open its membership to other Lorain County schools. The name was then changed to School Employees Lorain County Credit Union, Inc. (SELCCU). In 2020 SELCCU we through a name change and is currently known as Achieve Credit Union with the member promise to support our members to LEARN, DREAM, and ACHIEVE all of their life goals.
