MADISON, Wis.–The National Credit Union Foundation has released a new podcast that interviews Marlene Shiels, president of Capital Credit Union in Edinburgh, Scotland, who recently won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Development Education (DE) program.
“Marlene is an exceptional example of not only what it means to take the DE experience and share it with others around the world, but to make DE part of her everyday life,” said the NCUF’s Christopher Morris. “In fact, she even mentioned DE when she met the Queen to accept her Officer of the Order of the British Empire award in July.”
During the podcast Shiels also talks about her experience starting the DE program in the U.K. and Europe, helping with Africa DE’s first few trainings, her international experience with the World Council of Credit Unions, lessons learned during her career, and more.
