FREMONT, Mich. (8/21/2024) Jessica Broad, Assistant Vice President - Compliance & Risk, recently completed Credit Union Management School to earn the designation of Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE). The Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation is awarded by America's Credit Unions (formerly the Credit Union National Association) and demonstrates the highest level of aptitude in credit union leadership. It is awarded after completing three years of Credit Union Management School’s executive education curriculum, which includes exams, projects and an oral presentation. Management School is held in a face-to-face classroom setting, which facilitates networking. Historically, students build life-long relationships that continue after completing the school.

Credit Union Management School is a great step towards professional growth and positions of executive credit union leadership. Each year, credit union professionals preparing for an executive-level career attend the credit union movement’s longest-running, high-level educational program led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business professors, credit union professionals and respected industry experts. Attendees explore key executive responsibilities, financial operations and leadership techniques. This school, which has prepared more than 5,000 students, builds dynamic leaders and has a well-earned reputation as an outstanding three-year executive education program. Many graduates have gone on to hold high-level positions at state and national levels with credit unions and credit union professional organizations.
