In light of mass COVID-19 fears nationwide and with the City of Austin announcing limitations on mass gatherings, it is out of an abundance of caution that we are Rescheduling our March 25th Training.

A future time will be worked out with the presenters, to be able to host the rescheduled training over the summer.

We appreciate your understanding,

The Austin Chapter of Credit Unions Board

Speakers: Heather McKissick and Michael Crowl

Heather and Michael recently traveled to Italy with nearly 30 others from U.S. credit unions and other cooperatives to learn from Italian cooperatives.  They shared best practices with leaders of cooperative associations, saw cooperatives in action during tours and use of their services, and learned from globally-recognized cooperative thought leaders from the University of Bologna.  They look forward to sharing our takeaways from this fantastico experience!
