Lena is sharing how the GWLN and the World Council’s Young Credit Union Professionals (WYCUP) network help level the playing field for women and young professionals in the credit union industry and why it’s important that credit unions encourage their employees to join these types of networking groups aimed at achieving diversification. She’s also sharing how the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) is supporting some of its partners in Brazil that are doing great work with DEI.
