Minnesota Credit Union Professionals Graduate from National Credit Union Foundation's Development Education Program

Caitlin Brama, Magnifi Financial Credit Union, and Chris Wester, Minnco Credit Union, recently received their CUDE (Credit Union Development Educator) designation. Brama and Wester were recipients of the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation's CUDE Scholarship. 

Brama and Wester were among the 48 graduates of the National Credit Union Foundation’s signature Development Education (DE) program for the fourth and final cohort of 2022.

This graduating class joins more than 2,000 credit union advocates from 35 countries who have previously received their CUDETM (Credit Union Development Educator) designation.

The Development Education (DE) program is the National Credit Union Foundation’s signature education platform.

Through transformative education, immersive events and collaboration, DE builds awareness of the development issues that prevent people from achieving financial freedom—and how credit unions are uniquely positioned to address them.
