MADISON, WI -- As of July 20, 2001, seventeen individuals were awarded the Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation, sponsored by CUNA’s Center for Professional Development, bringing the total number of people to hold this distinction to 2,044.

The CCUE designation is the hallmark of professional credit union achievement. The program is designed for managers and those aspiring to credit union leadership, and teaches advanced credit union management and operations techniques.

Those who were academically eligible at this time represented eight different states.

The Certified Executive Program (CEP) recently awarded four people the Certified Financial Services Professional (CFSP) designation, bringing the total number of people to hold this distinction to 25.

The CEP also recently awarded specialty certifications to twelve credit union professionals. These certifications require in-depth courses in a specialty area. CUNA congratulates the recipients who have continued their education and training to earn specialist standing.

The names and the credit unions of the new CCUE, CFSP and specialty designees follow.
