MADISON, Wis. — With a powerful send-off from Mississippi Credit Union Association President Charles Elliott, 42 credit union leaders recently graduated from the six-day Credit Union Development Education Training sponsored by the National Credit Union Foundation.
Participants included credit union employees, board members, and league officials from 18 U.S. states, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, Trinidad, United Kingdom and Zimbabwe. This month's graduates join nearly 700 leaders who have earned the designation of Credit Union Development Educator over the past 25 years.
NCUF is committed to offering at least two DE Training classes each year from now on, in order to allow twice as many credit union leaders each year to experience a total immersion in cooperative principles and credit union philosophy.

"There is growing demand for training that provides a contemporary perspective on how the cooperative business model of social responsibility and community outreach can help credit unions survive," said NCUF Executive Director Steve Delfin. "DE Training and our new Social Impact Management Institutes will demonstrate how credit unions can leverage their value in today's marketplace."
The next course will be held August 22-28 on Bainbridge Island, Washington at IslandWood. The class at IslandWood will be the first outside of Wisconsin in the DE program's 25-year history.
