I look forward to working in partnership with the board and team to build on the strong foundation already in place.”
According to Financial Center, Duong is widely regarded as a collaborative leader, mentor, and advocate for the credit union movement. She holds both the U.S. Credit Union Development Educator (CUDE) designation and the GlobalDE designation from Canada. She earned her master’s in human resources and Employment Law from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law – Arizona State University, and her Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University.
