DALLAS–Forty-six people have graduated from the National Credit Union Foundation’s Development Education program and are now Credit Union Development Educators (CUDEs).
The DE training was held January 13-19 at the American Airlines Center here.
The next DE Training is scheduled for May 18-25, but has been sold out since last year. The Foundation has decided to hold an additional DE session in November of 2016 to meet the growing demand of the program. The September 14-21 and November 2-9 sessions will both be held in Madison, and registration will open this Spring. If you are interested in either 2016 DE Training (or 2017 DE Trainings), visit ncuf.coop to learn more or you can email cude@ncuf.coop to be put on a notification list for when registration opens up.
