Congratulations to the February ’23 DE class
Twenty-nine credit union leaders from across the United States were designated as Credit Union Development Educators (CUDEs) after completing the National Credit Union Foundation’s signature Development Education (DE) program in February.
This graduating class joins more than 2,000 credit union advocates from 35 countries who have previously received their CUDETM designation.
Delivered over three weeks as a virtual program or as an immersive week-long in-person event, DE is a unique, transformative training experience. It provides lessons in credit union structure, purpose and the “why” that differentiates credit unions from other financial institutions. Participants engage in small and large group exercises and interactive speaker sessions focused on the credit union difference, development issues, and empathy.
Each session provides insights into how credit unions can leverage their unique business model to help their members and communities overcome the financial and development issues they face.
