CUNA Management School: Third Year
Testimonials

WHAT PAST ATTENDEES SAY

"CUNA does a very good job. Interaction with fellow students in this concentrated environment lends to the experience. The two projects are important components. I would recommend this school to employees aspiring to reach the vice-president and president level. I'm a consistent proponent of continuing education. I think CUNA does a very good job of keeping training opportunities in front of us. Thanks."
— Nick Meyer, President, Minnesota Valley FCU, MN

"I most enjoyed the opportunity to talk with people from other credit unions and hear about their experiences and problems. I come from a fairly large credit union but it was so inspiring to see and hear those from the smaller 'one man shops'."
— Constance M. Percifield, Branch Manager, Indiana University Employees Federal Credit Union, IN

"The ropes challenge course was an awesome way for us to begin the week. I enjoyed pushing it to the limit. The technical writing class on the last day was the best. The classroom facilities are excellent. The program places things in perspective for me. I appreciate my role at the CU. I am working on our annual planning session. There is a large amount of data gathering that I am completing for our project that we will be able to use in our planning session. I am taking time to work on building a stronger team. CMS has taught me how important it is to build and prepare a team to handle a variety of tasks. I am more comfortable speaking in support team meetings due to the increased confidence gained by participating in CMS classes and events. I would recommend the program. I was initially skeptical that I would really benefit by spending two weeks away from work, family, and friends. The program is very rewarding. The opportunities to peer network are excellent. I have made some life long friends."
— Shay Santos, AVP Finance, Dane County Credit Union, WI

"I found that meeting the contacts has been one of the most important attributes.The ALM session was the most beneficial on a daily basis to consider the risks of interest rates. We are starting a program at my CU to get a management training program up and running. CMS would play a huge role in the program. I have recommended it to a number of other CU employees."
— Tim Ingalls, Loan Supervisor, Sioux Empire Federal Credit Union, SD

"I find myself more organized. Having to still meet the demands of my job and completing my first year project has forced me to be very consicious of how I spend my time. In researching the history of my credit union, I am more aware of how my time here is just a part of the total history of my credit union. Also, we tend to focus only on our jobs and not look at the credit union as a whole. Many of the classes had nothing to do with my day-to-day tasks yet allow me to understand why some decisions are made. In working on my project I have a much greater understanding of areas out of my job area."
— Bob Boucher, Central Lending Manager, Charter Oak FCU, CT
