Reconnect...and grow. Be part of la diferencia que hacen las cooperativas – the credit union difference – and strengthen your credit union’s commitment to its members during one of two World Council of Credit Unions 2008 Cooperative Learning Tours to Ecuador. Explore Ecuador’s credit unions and their unique approach to members, one that blends self-help philosophy and financial services delivery. Gain first-hand insight to the true potential of the cooperative movement.

Immerse yourself...and grow. Promote professional growth by exchanging ideas with credit union executives and volunteers from around the world whose suggestions and strategies will benefit your own institution back home. Then enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors of Ecuador. Wander the cobblestone streets of historic Quito and Cuenca, visit the rim of Pululahua Volcano and find yourself at Mitad del Mundo, literally “the center of the world,” located on the equator.

Join us this year...and experience the difference. This year’s tours are unique credit union learning experiences, ones you won’t find duplicated elsewhere and that you’ll never forget. Don’t miss your opportunity this year to expand your understanding of credit unions and their philosophy in action.

The Cooperative Learning Tours will be limited to just 15 participants so each person can engage directly in all activities. The cost is $1,990 single/$1,790 double occupancy, which includes all accommodations, all transportation within Ecuador, most meals (all but a few dinners) and admission to tourist venues. (Yes,there will be a little bit of fun, too!).
