MADISON, Wis.— The Caribbean Confederation of Credit Unions (CCCU) and the Credit Union Executives Society are collaborating to offer an enhanced leadership education opportunity with a global perspective.

CCCU and CUES International Convention, June 23-26, 2012, Montego Bay, Jamaica, will give industry leaders the opportunity to network with a worldwide community of colleagues. Content will focus on strategy, leadership and governance.

“I’m very pleased CCCU and CUES are working together to facilitate enhanced leadership in the movement, and to give credit union leaders as well as leaders of other co-operatives from 25 different nations the chance to meet and learn from each other,” said Ralph Wharton, CEO, CCCU. “The convention’s theme is ‘Cooperative Enterprises Build a Better World.’ We will celebrate the movement and the service it provides on a global scale and bring its leaders together like never before.”

“I’m excited CCCU and CUES are joining forces to bring this innovative program to life,” said Fred Johnson, CUES’ president/CEO. “Collaboration is good for CCCU, CUES and our international membership. Our two distinct organizations are coming together to provide professional development on an international scale. What better way to celebrate the cooperative movement?”

CUES represents members from 14 countries; CCCU has affiliates in 18 countries.

The Credit Union Executives Society is a Madison, Wisconsin-based, independent, not-for-profit, international membership association for credit union executives. CUES’ mission is to educate and develop credit union CEOs, directors and future leaders.
