About Well Capitalized

Well Capitalized was started as the capstone project in partial fulfillment of Saint Mary's University's Graduate Diploma in Co-operative Management. The intent of the Graduate Diploma in Co-operative Management - and the related Master's in Co-operative Management - is to "cultivate a deep understanding of co-operatives, credit unions and mutuals, within a globalized, online curriculum". 

Well Capitalized represents the final project for the program, functioning as a capstone of 14 months of course work in a final research-driven project.  In the above picture you see the 20 members of the 2015 cohort that began work on their degrees in August 2015.  I am grateful to them all for their contributions to my learning and for their grace, kindness, and friendship.


About Me

My name is Josh Noble and I work at Synergy Credit Union in Lloydminster, SK.  I hold my Bachelor's in Psychology from The King's University (Edmonton) and my Masters of Arts in Communications and Technology from University of Alberta, and my graduate diploma in Cooperative Management at Saint Mary's University.

I am passionate about co-operatives and believe that they play an essential role in fostering democracy, social justice, and social capital - all hallmarks of vibrant communities.
