FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MADISON, Wis. – This year, 26 credit union chief financial officers (CFO) and other financial professionals received a total of nearly $50,000 in scholarships from the CUNA CFO Council.

Earlier this year, the council recognized that the recession would likely mean new financial challenges and decreased training budgets for credit unions in the coming months. To provide credit unions with more options to meet these challenges, the council increased its scholarship budget to this record amount.

The council’s benefits committee recently finished allocating this year’s scholarship monies. Scholarships were awarded based on financial need and could be applied to the council’s annual conference or several educational programs from CUNA.
