As we observe Credit Union Week (October 11th – 17th) this year in a time when we have had to adopt a new normal way of life, this year’s theme is not only accurate and timely but encouraging.
“Inspiring Hope for a Global Community”

The President of the Dominica Cooperative Societies League Mrs. Josephine Dublin speaks to this and its importance.
Take a listen and always try to inspire and be inspired.
