Susan Tiffany, CCUFC, a 26-year employee of the Credit Union National Association’s Center for Personal Finance (www.finlit.cuna.org) and is director of its Personal Finance Information for Adults. Her team develops print, online, audio, and video materials credit unions use to help their members make the most of their financial resources. Credit unions frequently are sponsored by individual or multiple employers, thus credit unions are often tied closely to various workplaces. Much credit union financial education occurs in the sponsoring workplace.

Tiffany is a Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor. The CCUFC designation was developed by CUNA to train counselors to help credit union members get control of and optimize their finances. She has been a consumer-advocate member of the Ford Motor Company Consumer Appeals Board and an adviser to American Express for a program introducing teens to credit.

Tiffany was for eight years an elected trustee/director of Credit Unions Benefits Services, Inc. (CUBS), and served three years as its chairman. CUBS is a pension company providing retirement plans and investments to credit union employees nationally. Her hallmark in that position was pension simplification and education for participants.

She has been a publications judge for numerous credit union awards and makes presentations on personal finance topics to consumer, credit union, and state credit union league audiences. She is a CUNA national media spokesperson on consumer and personal finance issues. Tiffany majored in journalism at the University of Wisconsin and in business administration at Edgewood College, Madison, Wisconsin. Her favorite consumer issue is women’s unique personal finance challenges. Tiffany is a Board Member of the Personal Finance Employee Education Foundation.
