MADISON, WI (September 16, 2021) — Guest
- Mike Reuter, Executive Director, Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions
As the charitable and engagement arm of World Council of Credit Unions, Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions started its Global Bridges initiative to allow credit unions, leagues and systems to select and customize thematic content that gives a global context to current credit union challenges through interactive webinars, peer-to-peer engagements between industry professionals from around the world, and conferences that add value to existing education and training programs.
Mike Reuter discusses the creation of Global Bridges, some of the experiences credit unions are benefiting from due to the program and how he sees the initiative growing as it moves forward.
