The Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) is seeking 10 credit union professionals for a group technical assistance assignment in Ghana.  The group will participate in an orientation and travel to Africa together. 

The members of the team will all be well rounded and experienced credit union generalists, able to offer advice and assistance on all aspects of primary credit union management.  Topics may include the loans cycle,  safety and security of deposits, board/management relations, technology, or human resource development. 

Candidates should be flexible, able to think on their feet, and have a broad range of experience to draw on.  Previous international experience is not necessary, but candidates should be in good health and able to travel under conditions that may be difficult.
