Credit union leaders from Tennessee and Mississippi are in Athens, Ga., this week for the Southeast Credit Union Management School, hosted by the Southeastern Regional Credit Union School (SRCUS).
Southeast Management School equips credit union professionals with essential leadership, management and financial skills to navigate industry challenges. This three-year program combines advanced coursework with hands-on projects and year-end testing, qualifying students for ACE Credits® toward continuing education.
Upon successful completion of the program, students not only receive a graduation diploma but earn their Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation—the hallmark of professional achievement within the industry.
“Participating in the Southeast Management School is an investment in both personal growth and the future of credit unions,” said Kim Bohannon, chief innovation officer at the Association. “The knowledge, leadership skills and industry connections gained through this three-year journey will have a lasting impact on participants.”
