A record 3,000 attendees from 60 countries, including Kenya, packed into the West English Bay Room of the Vancouver Convention Centre Sunday afternoon to kick off the 2023 World Credit Union Conference.
WOCCU Board Chair Diana Dykstra encouraged credit union professionals to embrace change and remain open to new possibilities at this year’s conference, co-hosted by World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) and the Canadian Credit Union Association (CCUA).
“It is in the spirit of adapting and becoming resilient that we gather this week to connect and learn from one another,” said Dykstra. “You will meet colleagues and friends from every corner of the globe and learn how our peers are addressing credit union issues like expanding membership, developing shared solutions, delivering better services through digital platforms and climate-smart, resilient solutions.”
