SNELLVILLE, Ga.–The African American Credit Union Coalition said it has introduced a new leadership development program it said prepares rising professionals to be candidates for serving on a nonprofit board in their communities.
“We are excited to announce a new leadership development opportunity for those interested in serving as a board member of a 501c3 non-profit organization,” the AACUC said. “Our 2022 BoardReady Training Series is designed to help enhance leadership skills and prepare you to serve with impact on non-profit boards within your community.”
