MADISON, Wis.–Zachary Churchill, VP of finance for Tampa-based USF FCU, has been named the 2022 CUES Emerge winner.
“As one of five finalists, Churchill’s route to the podium began when he was selected into the CUES Emerge program early in 2022,” CUES said. “From there, participants completed business cases and worked toward their project idea while a team of judges reviewed their proposals.”
The competition culminated in Churchill and the four other finalists presenting their projects live during an online pitch show, hosted by Tim McAlpine of Currency.
According to CUES, two other finalists, Angela Harden, facilities assistant manager with Bay FCU in Capitola, Calif., and Jose Raya, security operations engineer with Magnifi Financial CU in Melrose, Minn., were named as runners-up. Churchill and each of the runners-up will receive an educational and coaching package to support continued development and growth within the industry, CUES said.
Churchill’s winning business case was “The Case for a Data Analytics Team.”
Other Finalists
The other finalists taking part in the online pitch show were Marilyn Mims, learning and organization development manager with Northeast CU in Portsmouth, N.H., and Randi Timonere, risk and compliance manager with WeStreet CU in Tulsa, Okla.
The organization said CUES Emerge was created to offer free professional development to the industry’s up-and-coming leaders. Participants who complete the course work and business case earn the Certified Credit Union Manager designation in recognition of their commitment to their career, credit union and the industry.
