 Elissa McCarter Laborde, CEO World Coucil of Credit Unions

 

BOSTON—  The World Council of Credit Unions goal is to improve the lives of millions of members around the world through a global network of more than 82,000 credit unions, that reach more than 400 million members. [link to article] 

Elissa McCarter Laborde, the president and CEO of the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), touched on many themes in her opening remarks to the World Credit Union Conference. Most importantly, she said she wanted to emphasize one final point before closing. Ms. Laborde  offered a reminder over how something that credit unions have earned over decades can disappear in a moment.

Her Final Point:

 

 “We are all custodians of this movement, entrusted with its growth and care. That 

means guarding against mission drift. As financial cooperatives we must hold 

ourselves to a higher standard. We hold the trust of our members and their hard

earned money. We know trust is earned over decades and can be broken in an

instant.    Trust is what sets us apart.”

  But can... "disappear in a moment."

 At SECU... "We must hold ourselves to a higher standard."
