EVERETT, Wash.--Dustin Rohde, vice president of lending at $83.6 million SnoCope Credit Union here, is the latest winner of a scholarship from Prodigy.
The National Credit Union Foundation runs the program, which aims to build awareness of the development issues that prevent people from achieving financial freedom—and how credit unions are uniquely positioned to address them.
“Getting this scholarship is a fantastic chance that will allow me to pursue the education and skills I desire,” Rohde said. “I love learning and everyone who has participated in this program has raved about it. Through this training, I intend to learn how to positively impact my members’ financial situation. Financial literacy has always been important, and our members look to us to be the experts. I am certain that this program will provide me with the skills that I need to better educate and serve my members.”
“We understand how important enhancing credit union leaders’ education is,” Prodigy CEO Amber Harsin said, and that shouldn’t be stunted because their credit union lacks the resources – in fact, that makes it more important! We’re very excited for Dustin, because we know he’ll take full advantage of this opportunity and bring it back with him to SnoCope.”
