Presented by Anthony Demangone, NCCO, Executive Vice President and COO, NAFCU
Earn or recertify your NAFCU Certified Volunteer Expert (NCVE) designation.

This interactive workshop, presented by NAFCU Executive Vice President and COO Anthony Demangone is designed to help you better understand your role and how the credit union system works. Demangone has spent more than a decade studying credit union boards, risk, regulation and the credit union industry.
This training session is the perfect way to show your examiner that your credit union's board takes its fiduciary duties seriously. As part of the workshop, you'll also receive the new Credit Union Director Handbook.
All workshop attendees have the opportunity to earn their NCVE designation with an exam at the end.
