CO-OP Financial Services has sponsored scholarships for 16 credit union professionals to join the 2013 CUNA Community Credit Union & Growth Conference in Uncasville, Conn., next month.

Each recipient was selected after submitting applications before the deadline and meeting certain criteria. This marks the fourth year in a row that CO-OP Financial Services has awarded scholarships for the conference.

“Over the last four years, individuals from dozens of credit unions that would not otherwise be represented have been able to attend CCUC and apply conference takeaways to directly strengthen the credit union movement,” said Todd Spiczenski, senior vice president of the CUNA Center for Professional Development in a press release issued on Wednesday.

“Thanks to CO-OP Financial Services' continued generosity, the CCUC message will be once again amplified by the insight and dedication of this year's scholarship winners.”

Attendees of the CUNA Community Credit Union & Growth Conference, taking place Oct. 8 through 11, will “create ready-to-implement action plans to help their credit union reach its full potential,” according to the press release.

The four winners of the 2013 Community Credit Union of the Year Award will also be announced at the conference.
