Credit Union PhD

Let’s not forget why we do what we do. The credit union movement is growing, but is our commitment to People Helping People keeping pace? As credit unions continue to grow and expand, many credit union employees and leaders forget or never learned how and why we started.

Enroll today and begin earning your credit union PhD – the Philosophy, History and Development of our movement. In this fun and interactive 90-minute workshop, we’ll talk about the motivation and passion our early leaders had when transforming cooperative financial institutions.
