Canadian Credit Union Association

Leadership Development

Strong credit union leadership comes from people with experience, people who keep learning, and people who can lead themselves and motivate others. Recognizing that leadership is multi-faceted, CCUA’s Education and Professional Development program offers ways to develop skills in leading, coaching, strategizing, and mentoring.

Cultivating leadership skills requires formal education as well as experiential, hands-on, comprehensive training.
