Call for Nominations! – 2nd Annual WOCCU Young Credit Union Professionals Scholarship Program
Madison, WI – World Council of Credit Unions, Inc. (WOCCU) is excited to call for nominations for the 2nd Annual WOCCU Young Credit Union Professionals (WYCUP) Scholarship Program; completed nominations and all supporting materials are due at WOCCU by May 1, 2002.

First introduced in 2001, the WYCUP program is designed to encourage credit union organizations to commit to involving youth and young professionals in national and international credit union movements.
Nominees will be sponsored by their credit union organizations to attend the International Credit Union Leadership Institute to be held June 24- July 2, 2002 in Warsaw, Poland. The Leadership Institute offers the ideal environment for young professionals to broaden their perspectives on the international credit union movement, learn about the newest trends in credit union development and network with other credit union leaders, particularly their young professional peers. This year’s activities will also include a pre-Institute networking session specifically designed for young credit union professionals.
The WYCUP program will select from among the 2002 nominees five credit union professionals to receive an all-expense paid scholarship to attend the International Credit Union Forum in Brisbane, Australia in June 2003.
“World Council is extremely pleased with the success of the first round of the WYCUP Program held last year,” noted Grzegorz Bierecki, chairman of WOCCU’s WYCUP committee. “The number of nominations received from credit union organizations throughout the world proved that there is a great need for such an initiative to be championed by WOCCU. We aim to effectively assist young professionals in recognizing genuine career opportunities and gradually assuming leadership positions within the international credit union movement.”
World Council strongly supports participation in WYCUP from credit union movements across all geographies and has reduced Leadership Institute registration fees for young professionals to US$745 for participants from developed movements and US$485 for participants from developing movements. WOCCU encourages both interested young professionals to secure nominations and credit union organizations to consider nominating qualified young professionals.
