The field of membership currently consists of:

If you are a spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent or grandchild, which also includes stepparents, stepchildren, stepsiblings and adoptive relationships, or household member (defined as person living in the same residence maintaining a single economic unit), of any of the above or related in the same manner to an existing credit union member, YOU QUALIFY.
