MADISON, Wis. – The National Credit Union Foundation has opened registration for its Workshop 2023 event that seeks to help credit unions better serve Hispanic consumers.
The “immersive learning event” is scheduled to be held in El Paso, Texas, from Oct. 10 – 13. GECU, which is headquartered in the city, is partnering with the Foundation as a host credit union. Coopera Consulting, Inclusiv and National Association of Latino Credit Unions & Professionals (NLCUP) are also event partners, adding value to the event with strategic and on-site support, the Foundation said.
According to the Foundation, Workshop 2023 will leverage the framework of the Foundation’s signature Development Education (DE) program—collaborative learning with excursions and volunteer activities—to help credit union system employees explore opportunities to better reach, engage and serve Hispanic communities.
More Than 60 Million Members
“Over 62-million Hispanics live in the USA, and this diverse group is the largest contributor to U.S. population growth in every single state. Collectively, Latinos and Hispanics control trillions of dollars in purchasing power, but they are systematically underserved by financial services,” said Chad Helminak, the Foundation’s chief impact officer. “Our cooperative mission encourages us to challenge our perspectives and business models in order to achieve financial well-being for all, and in turn, secure the credit union system’s long-term success. Workshop 2023 will provide plenty of insights and resources no matter where your credit union is on your journey.”
Early bird pricing of $650 per person runs through July 15 and is inclusive of all excursions, activities and most meals. Discounted hotel rates are also available on a first-come, first-served basis, the Foundation said.
What Lessons Will Cover
“Learning sessions will cover developing and implementing multicultural strategies, data gathering and analysis, building culturally relevant products and services, and much more,” according to the NCUF. “These will be complemented by collaborative work, networking opportunities and immersive off-site excursions.”
