The MD|DC Credit Union Association, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, has introduced an innovative AI business strategy program tailored for credit union executives and senior leaders.

Developed in collaboration with Johns Hopkins FCU and APL FCU, this program demonstrates the Association's dedication to fostering innovation and providing credit unions with the tools and insights needed to excel in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.

"This initiative highlights our commitment to connecting thought leaders and industry experts with credit unions, inspiring innovation and empowering them to deliver exceptional member experiences," said John Bratsakis, President and CEO of the MD|DC Credit Union Association. "We are deeply grateful to APL FCU and Johns Hopkins FCU for their collaboration, which exemplifies the strength of partnerships within the credit union movement."

38 credit union leaders successfully completed the program's pilot session held last week at JHU FCU in Baltimore. Participating credit unions included:

• APL FCU
• First Financial FCU
• Johns Hopkins FCU
• Lafayette FCU
• MECU Credit Union
• NASA FCU
• WEPCO FCU

Building on the success of the pilot, the next AI program is planned for early 2025. Details on registration will be available soon.
