Community Relations

The AmeriChoice Community Involvement Team gives back to our membership and community through sponsorship gifts, staff community involvement, and financial literacy programs. Currently, AmeriChoice has established two high school branches and one college branch devoted to teaching youth about their finances. AmeriChoice employees also give over 4,000 hours of volunteer service to the community every year. To continue our mission to the community, the annual AmeriChoice golf tournament has been established to honor members of our community and raise money for various charities.

Community Relations Manager

Toni Montgomery is the Community Relations Manager for AmeriChoice Federal Credit Union located in Mechanicsburg PA. Toni is a graduate of Central Pennsylvania College with an Associates degree in Communications and a Bachelors degree in Corporate Communications.

As the Community Relations Manager for AmeriChoice, Toni is responsible for community outreach, charitable events including the AmeriChoice Charity Golf Tournament, and participating in multiple Chamber of Commerce committees. She also serves as a spokes person for the credit union. Toni chooses to use her time and talents toward the credit union industry because of her belief in the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.”

One of her personal goals is to help today’s youth understand that the financial choices they make today, will affect their financial outcome in the future. To achieve this goal, Toni helped develop and implement student-run branches in East Pennsboro High School and Central Pennsylvania College where students learn hands on how to manage their finances. She also teaches financial literacy classes at East Pennsboro High School. She works with every 9th grade student to focus on developing life skills such as understanding the importance of setting savings goals, budgeting money, and learning about credit.

In May of 2007, Toni was named the Pennsylvania State Youth Ambassador through the PA Credit Union Association. As the State Youth Ambassador, Toni worked toward increasing awareness of credit union as a lower-cost, lower-fee alternative for financial services for both youth adults and consumers of any age. In 2008, she was named to the Filene Institute’s 30 under 30 research group, where she spend the year creating products and services that would attract youth to credit unions.

In addition to teaching financial literacy in the classroom, Toni has had the opportunity to be a presenter at the Governor’s Institute for Financial Education held at Lehigh University and Elizabethtown College. She spoke to over 200 Pennsylvania teachers about how they could partner with their credit unions in the classroom. Toni also holds the position as Board Member for the Mechanicsburg Chamber of Commerce.
