“The pandemic had a profound impact on small businesses, and credit unions have been seen as the 'first responders' in providing financial assistance,” said Kathy Smith, instructional design manager of lending compliance for CUNA. "This event is a valuable opportunity for credit union professionals to hone their skills in business lending, ensuring they are prepared to serve the small-business community."
CUNA Business Lending Certification School focuses on a range of core topics, including:
Developing skills as a guide for your credit union’s business lending
Learning business and commercial lending essentials and best practices
Formulating applicable strategies for enhancing business lending programs at credit unions
Connecting with other business lending leaders and expert speakers
The event has received high praise from previous attendees, including Peter Chaber, AVP of business lending at Polish & Slavic FCU, who said, "If you are in any type of business or commercial lending, the CUBLP certification school is a must for you."
