Janine began her adventure with CU Grow, the credit union blog, the summer of 2008 when James Robert Lay and Natasha Melugin created a special invite for a SCMS Alumni/Student mixer event. From there the journey continues as the relationship grows.

She joined the Texas Credit Union League Training & Events Department in 1986, after four years with Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union. Prior to SCFCU, she spent three years working for Kern Schools Federal Credit Union, in Bakersfield, California.

Janine began working with the SCMS program in 1986. Within a few years she was directing the school, working with it for 12 years before taking a six year hiatus to explore other aspects of training and education, including launching TechMecca and introducing web-based training opportunities. She enthusiastically returned to direct the school in 2006.

Committed to lifelong learning, Janine is certified as a Credit Union Development Educator (CUDE) and earned her Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation. She was the first Texan to be certified in CUNA's Volunteer Leadership Program and also holds a certification in CUNA's MERIT program. An honorary alum of the SCMS, Janine earned her BS in business from California State University Bakersfield.
