DuPont Community Credit Union now has two certified financial counselors who recently completed the Credit Union National Association Financial Counseling Program. Lindsey Megginson, Marketing Manager, and Sarah Landram, Financial Educator, were recently awarded certificates from CUNA
“We are proud of both Lindsey and Sarah for their commitment in becoming certified financial counselors,” said Steve Elkins, DCCU Senior Vice President for Retail & Lending. “This certification will enhance the Credit Union’s financial education program and workshops, which we provide to our members and to the communities we serve.”
