Two CU employees in the Cornerstone region earn CCUE designations

Edgar Medina and Austin Moyer, both with Tinker Federal Credit Union, were among the 87 individuals who recently graduated from the CUNA Management School, earning their Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designations. Awarded after completing a three-year executive education program, as well as exams, projects, and an oral presentation, this designation demonstrates the highest level of aptitude in credit union leadership.

“CUNA Management School is such a transformative and meaningful experience within the credit union movement,” said Edgar Medina, CCUE, AVP/branch manager at Tinker Federal Credit Union." “The lasting friendships and networks established are the most important takeaway from this opportunity. It was an enjoyable three years, and I would like to thank my wife Shanese, family, and Tinker Federal Credit Union for their support and encouragement during the whole process!”

“CUNA Management School in Madison, Wisconsin, was amazing,” said Austin Moyer, retail liaison, retail member services with Tinker Federal Credit Union. “The networking and friendships that I made while at CMS will be a major advantage for me going forward with my career. It was a long three-year journey, but it was well worth it!”

“Over the course of their three-year journey, these new CCUE designees learned advanced credit union management and operations techniques, preparing them to advance into higher executive roles and provide leadership that engages and motivates their entire staff,” said Kristin Ryan, director of learning events at Credit Union National Association. “We congratulate these newest CCUEs and look forward to watching them drive lasting change in the industry.”
