MADISON, Wis.–The National Credit Union Foundation’s Development Education (DE) program announced it will open registration for its October/November DE training on July 19 at 11 a.m. ET.
The session will be conducted virtually and held from Oct. 18-Nov. 12.
“Since 1982, the Foundation’s Credit Union Development Education (DE) Program has inspired credit union professionals and advocates to leverage the unique business model of credit unions and serve our members and communities in new and better ways,” the Foundation said. “While many trainings focus on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of credit union service and operations, the DE Program focuses on exploring the ‘why.’ Over the course of training, DE participants will engage in lessons focused on the credit union difference, development issues, and empathy. Upon completion of the DE Program, individuals receive their CUDE designation and join thousands of DEs worldwide.”
Over the four weeks of the October/November training the Foundation said participants will engage in a mix of on-demand and live learning sessions. Live learning sessions will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays between the hours of 10 AM – 4 PM CT for the duration of training.
