I was so happy to sit down and reconnect with Deleanna Allen, or “D” as I have come to call her. She is a marketing manager at Public Service Credit Union in Michigan, a Young Professional (YP) and the Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL)’s YP scholarship winner to the World Credit Union Conference (WOCCU) in Boston this year. Deleanna taught me that she learned about the credit union mission, such as why we advocate and what makes us different, from FUEL, Michigan’s YP group.
