Credit Union National Association (CUNA) is a national association that advocates on behalf of credit unions and works to protect their interests. CUNA Councils, which presents the annual Diamond Awards, is a professional development organization comprised of more than 6,900 individuals across the United States. It is run by more than 300 credit union leader volunteers and focuses on seven areas: finance, HR, marketing & sales, lending, operations, technology, and CEOs.
“PSECU’s vision is that our members will recognize us as their trusted financial partner. Marketing is key to achieving that goal because if a member or potential member does not know about our offerings, they can’t benefit from them.
