MADISON, Wis. – Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designations were awarded to 31 individuals from 13 different states, bringing the total nationwide to 2,714.

CCUE, instituted in 1975, is the hallmark of professional credit union achievement. Designed for managers and those aspiring to credit union leadership, the program teaches advanced credit union management and operations techniques.

In addition, three individuals earned the Certified Financial Services Professional (CFSP) designation. This program began in 1999 as a designation targeted specifically at educating credit union professionals specializing in financial services.

The Certified Executive Program (CEP) awarded specialty certifications to 16 credit union professionals. These certifications require in-depth courses in a specialty area, including: compliance, lending, financial management, marketing, and human resources.

The CEP is the overall name for the self-study program allowing for the above designations. Recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), the classes and materials are tailored specifically to those working within the Credit Union System. All new designations were awarded in November.

CUNA congratulates the recipients who have continued their education and training to earn designee and specialist standing. The names and the credit unions of the new CCUE, CFSP, and specialty designees are listed below.
