Virtual Training for Credit Union Supervisors

Dave Grace is the Executive Director of ICURN, and consultant to the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund. A former central banker, as well as a senior vice president in charge of policy/advocacy with the World Council of Credit Unions, Mr. Grace excels at helping governments, donors and financial institutions develop policy frameworks. He holds an M.A. in International Affairs and Finance from Washington University in St. Louis and graduated honors from St. Louis University with a B.S. in Economics and International Business. Mr. Grace has worked in over 80+ countries and has trained central bank supervisors in dozens of countries and has recently conducted a virtual training program for supervisors on behalf of the IMF.    

Based on a popular in-person training course, ICURN has developed a new virtual training program for financial cooperative supervisors. This intensive, case-study based training has been specifically developed for the needs of supervisors as of 2021 and will focus on issues that  came to the forefront during the pandemic, such as cyber-security, stress-testing and problem resolution of credit unions. 

At the end of the one-week session a written examination will be administered to help reinforce the training materials.
