CUES, WesCorp Enter Into Joint Venture

The Credit Union Executives Society and WesCorp have entered into a joint venture to develop a new Executive Finance & Economics Institute to be held Oct. 8-13 at the R. David Thomas Executive Conference Center at the Fuqua School of Business on the campus of Duke University. The curriculum is being developed by Duke Corporate Education and the London School of Economics and will focus on finance and economics - including an in-depth exploration of globalization, financial markets, evaluating business models and more, CUES said. "The more a credit union leader can understand and make sense of the global marketplace and the financial markets, the more successful that leader will be in setting the right course and managing the performance of a credit union," said WesCorp EVP/CIO Bob Burrell.
