Who Should Attend DE? 

DE Training is intended for emerging or established leaders from credit unions, system partners and organizations that support credit unions*. Employees from all organizational levels are eligible to attend - from c-suite, to MSRs, accounting or IT folks, marketers and board directors... all are encouraged to attend.

Since 1982, over 2,000 credit union advocates from over 35 countries have attended the U.S. DE Training to earn their CUDE™ designation. Independent, international DE programs have spun off from the U.S. program and are operational in Africa, Asia, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe and Philippines.
