WASHINGTON, DC (April 21, 2020) — Registration is now open for CUNA Putting Empathy into Action During a Pandemic eSchool (free to CUNA members) set for Tuesday and Thursday 1-hour sessions, April 28-May 7. In this new eSchool, presented with the National Credit Union Foundation, credit union professionals will learn to nurture meaningful relationships with staff, co-workers and members by exploring what empathy looks like and how to put it into practice.

We do this by learning how to operationalize empathy and help others overcome challenges,” says Chad Helminak, director of DE & Cooperative Culture at National Credit Union Foundation.
