Credit Unions Can and Do Change Lives

I have built a career in credit unions because I believe that when credit unions fulfill their mission, they change lives and communities for the better. I am especially passionate about connecting and informing people, which is why we started CUInsight.com in 2008 and I launched The CUInsight Experience podcast in 2019: I believe that when people are connected and learn from the best of the best the system can help more people in communities of need. This is true in the U.S. and it is true globally. I have had the good fortune to witness the life changing work SACCOs (credit unions) across Africa are doing on my visits there. They are truly changing lives.

This fall, I have the opportunity to take that passion for people to help Africa's credit unions (SACCOs) expand how they develop the people who change lives and communities through Africa's credit unions. Through my participation in the CLIMB AFRICA campaign, I am helping raise funds to build the ACCOSCA Academy, the tool to provide training and development resources (curriculum, instructors, facilities) that will create a more sustainable credit union system.

What kind of difference can this training make for communities?

  • Leaders may learn how to introduce new technology that assures people have more consistent access to financial services.

  • This facility may create opportunities for collaboration where leaders can come together and address community problems with system solutions.

  • Education may prepare leaders with new ideas for products and services that create financial independence for women and vulnerable populations.

  • Employees will receive certifications and leadership training that prepare them to grow their careers and succeed today's leaders. 

In October of 2022, the CLIMB AFRICA Campaign will culminate with a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 feet) alongside community development work in Kenya and Malawi. I am proud to participate in the CLIMB AFRICA Campaign because of my passion for people, education and the growth of the credit union movement around the world. Your donation is appreciated as it will help reach our collective goal of changing a continent through education.

Beautiful world full of beautiful people. Thank you for your support!
