WOCCU Extends Best Wishes to ABCUL for Its Annual Conference 2025 in Leeds

Thursday 13 March 2025

As British credit unions gather for the ABCUL Annual Conference 2025, the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) has sent its best wishes for a fantastic and productive event. Elissa McCarter LaBorde, President & CEO of WOCCU, has extended her support to ABCUL and its members, recognising the conference as a vital opportunity for collaboration and growth within the sector.

“We congratulate ABCUL on its annual gathering taking place in Leeds, March 14-15. This will be the largest event ABCUL has ever hosted for British credit unions. It provides a crucial platform for networking, learning, and celebrating the strength of Great Britain’s credit union movement,” said Elissa McCarter LaBorde, WOCCU President & CEO.

With the financial sector evolving rapidly, forums like the ABCUL Annual Conference are essential in fostering innovation and knowledge-sharing. Bringing together credit union professionals, policymakers, and industry experts, the conference serves as a hub for discussing best practices and strategies that drive the movement forward.

WOCCU also looks ahead to its own global gathering later this year, inviting British delegates to take part in the World Credit Union Conference (WCUC) 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden.

“As we prepare for the World Credit Union Conference in Stockholm this July, we encourage all our British members to join us for a truly global event focused on innovation, education, and connection,” added LaBorde.

Taking place from July 14-16, 2025, the 20th anniversary edition of WCUC will offer an unparalleled opportunity to engage with credit union leaders worldwide. With inspiring sessions, expert speakers, and invaluable networking opportunities, the conference promises to build on the discussions taking place at ABCUL’s event and expand them on an international scale.

ABCUL encourages its members to take full advantage of this global platform and continue strengthening ties within the international credit union movement. Don’t miss out—register now at www.wcuc.org and be part of this landmark global gathering!
