Update on SE CUNA Management School for 2020:

SRCUS has been closely monitoring directives from local, state, and national officials, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Our students’ health and safety, as well as supporting their focus on aiding their members, is paramount, and, as such, we are postponing the 2020 session of the SE CUNA Management School. This year’s session, scheduled for June 5 - 12, 2020, at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education in Athens, GA, has been postponed to June 4 - 11, 2021. By making this decision in advance, we hope to minimize any added stress or inconvenience for our students.

If you are currently registered for the 2020 session, you will not need to re-register as your registration will automatically be transferred to the 2021 session with no change in your registration fee. If your ability to participate in the 2021 session changes and you are no longer able to attend, please email registration@georgiacenter.uga.edu no later than Friday, May 1, 2020.

If you have booked your hotel room at the Georgia Center, your reservation will be cancelled. You will need to rebook your room reservation for the 2021 session by clicking here.

Information on SRCUS (SE CUNA Management School):

Through collaboration with CUNA and Affiliates, the first SRCUS Management School was established in 1970. The two week school initially held at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta had an original first year class of 30 plus students. Since the school’s formation it has graduated over 1,100 credit union management professionals from 21 states and the District of Columbia. The curriculum is reviewed and revised each year to continue meeting the ever-changing needs of today’s credit union professionals. The program provides a well-rounded curriculum and experiential opportunities for professional and personal growth, challenging each participant to achieve their highest potential by engaging them in learning activities that stimulate critical thinking and increase confidence. The school is held each year in June at the University of Georgia, Georgia Center for Continuing Education in Athens, GA.

The Southeast Regional Directors Conference is designed for credit union directors and committee members. The conference location rotates among the ten Southeastern states, giving each state an opportunity to host their fellow credit union volunteers and showcase the best of what their state has to offer. This conference features a full range of informative educational sessions that provide a conduit for learning about critical issues important to today’s ever-changing financial industry. First-rate speakers will cover topics on the economy, lending environment, and much more.

This virtual educational event is designed for credit unions under $50 million in assets but may also be appropriate for credit unions under $100 million in assets. SAS credit union summits provide insightful information on current topics for smaller credit unions as well as opportunities to network with your peers.
