adminWe all know the credit union industry needs to keep diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) challenges forefront on its to-do list. But how do you properly go about addressing these topics?
The Heartland Credit Union Association (HCUA) and the African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) are hosting a two-part webinar series to answer that very question. This two-part series, titled “Be Better. Do Better,” will address DEI challenges and actions that can be taken to become more inclusive personally, in credit unions and in communities.
The webinar is open to anyone in the credit union industry. Participants can attend one or both sessions.
On Feb. 16 and March 16, the series will bring industry experts together to discuss best practices, why the credit union industry needs to address DEI challenges and what actions we can take to become more inclusive personally, in our credit unions and in our communities. The panels will be moderated by Renee Sattiewhite, CEO of AACUC.
