“As a long-time lender, I have learned many things in my 22 years at the credit union, however there has always been a desire to learn more. The CLE program exceeded my expectations as it encompasses everything lending-related and then some” said Tonia L. Lanier, CLE, Vice President of Down East Credit Union. “What Rex Johnson and the LSCI team have created is so valuable to our industry. This program covers the history of banking, underwriting, and risk management, but it doesn’t stop there. Our credit union will continue to invest in our team and put more lenders through this program, so they have that solid foundation to reach maximum potential” Lanier added.
CLE course topics include: Trend Analysis, Strategic Planning, Ethics, Asset Liability Management, Incentive plans, Sales Culture, Consumer & Commercial Lending, Compliance, Regulatory Standards, Portfolio Management, Organization Culture and Planning.
