DE Program Gives Volunteers Worldwide CU View. (cover story)

The article focuses on the Development Education (DE) training program--an intensive, interactive six-day program sponsored by the National Credit Union Foundation. One of the benefits is the exposure about other countries, the people, and what's happening with their credit unions. Elizabeth Clay, a leading light in the credit union sector and a person who has undergone the training, says that before the training she only focused on the U.S. Curtis Collins, who has served as board vice chair at SC Federal Credit Union, also appreciates the DE program's worldwide impact. Collins says that DE training helped him better understand his job as a volunteer.
