NEW YORK — Clifford Rosenthal, executive director of National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, will take a trip back into his earlier life when he travels later this month to Russia to participate in a credit union meeting there.
Before getting involved with community development and credit unions, Rosenthal studied Russian history at the graduate level at Columbia University, specializing in pre-revolutionary history. He can read Russian fluently but admits that time may have undermined his ability to speak it. The trip to the Eastern European Technical Congress, to be held in Moscow over September 10-12, will be Rosenthal's third trip to Russia.
According to WOCCU, the Technical Congress, which it is co-sponsoring with the Russian Credit Union League, has two objectives: building relations among national associations of participating countries and featuring first-class presentations on technical requirements for credit union growth.
