Previous recipients of the WYCUP scholarship are:

2007

Elizabeth Randall

Elizabeth V. Randall, Pasadena Federal Credit Union, United States

"My experience at the WOCCU conference in Calgary deepened my commitment to the financial cooperative movement. I gained global perspective about our industry and met inspiring and dedicated leaders who share the belief that affordable and accessible financial services should be made available to everyone. The cooperative philosophy truly makes a difference in this world and improves people's lives."


Izabela Rutkowska

Izabela Rutkowska, SKOK Stefczyka, Poland

"I had read a lot about the credit union movement and knew the statistics, but listening to professionals speak about their best practices and seeing 2,500 people in one place made me realize that I'd only just begun. Thanks to the WYCUP program,I see my credit union and the whole system in a new light. I look forward to energizing myself at the next conference by sharing experiences with young and senior professionals alike."

Ryan Visscher

Ryan Visscher, Envision Financial, Canada

"The WOCCU conference in Calgary was an inspiring event. It opened my eyes to the amazing credit union movement that we are a part of. It impacted me more than I would have expected. It showed me that passion and enthusiasm of youth can go a long way in helping forge the success of the credit union in the future. I can't wait to do it all again in Hong Kong 2008."


Stacey Walker, XCEL Federal Credit Union, United States

"Never before had I encountered so many people from all over the world who were eager to share lessons learned. As a board member, I was invited by directors from other countries to discuss removing resistance to change that can be problematic for even the greatest of leaders. As a WYCUP winner, I have joined a global network of leaders to partner in my commitment to a cooperative framework. Through WOCCU, we will strengthen our voices to empower credit unions wherever we go."


Eleonora Zgonjanin Petrovik

Eleonora Zgonjanin Petrovik, FULM Savings House, Macedonia

"I have been to a few WOCCU conferences, and every year I've seen how much stronger the international credit union movement becomes. No matter where are we in the world, no matter how large the credit union movement is, we are all united under one vision: 'People helping people.' As a WYCUP winner this year, coming from the small country of Macedonia, I feel more obligated to the future success of the cooperative credit union spirit."
