Four Credit Union Professionals from The League’s Region Earn CUDE Designation

The National Credit Union Foundation announced 54 credit union leaders from across the United States who earned their Credit Union Development Educator (CUDE) designation after completing the Development Education (DE) program in September 2025.

The immersive, week-long DE program empowers participants to deepen their understanding of the credit union difference, explore issues that impact financial well-being, and strengthen their ability to create meaningful change within their communities.

We’re proud to celebrate the following graduates from The League’s region:

• John Simpson, Peach State Federal Credit Union
• Kendall Burton, Loyalty Credit Union
• Mindi Greenland, Georgia United Credit Union
• Nikita Mathews, America’s First Federal Credit Union

These new CUDEs join a global network of more than 3,000 credit union advocates representing 35 countries.
