MADISON, Wis.— CUES said its 2022 Emerge program is now one step closer to identifying the top emerging leaders in the credit union community.
Thirty up-and-coming professionals were selected to take part in the program, and 27 self-selected into the competition phase to have their submitted business cases reviewed by a panel of judges, CUES reported, adding the four judges reviewed all entries and identified the top five finalists to participate in the online pitch show, powered by Currency.
The five finalists are:
- Alexa Cahill, branch manager, Boston Firefighter’s CU, Dorchester, Mass.
- Zachary Churchill, VP of finance, USF FCU, Tampa
- Angela Harden, facilities assistant manager, Bay FCU, Capitola, Calif.
- Marilyn Mims, learning & organization development manager, Northeast CU, Portsmouth, N.H.
- Jose Raya, security operations engineer, Magnifi Financial CU, Melrose, Minn
‘Strong Applications’
“Once again, our CUES Emerge program attracted a number of strong applicants,” said CUES President John Pembroke. “They worked hard throughout the education and competition phases and presented intriguing business cases for our judging panel. The five finalists chosen have a wide range of business cases that address challenges and bring new ideas that many credit unions share.”
The five finalists will take to the virtual stage and present their business cases during a live online pitch show on Oct. 5.
Following the live show, the judges will select the Top Three, and the ultimate 2022 CUES Emerging Leader will be named.
All members of the Top Three will receive a tiered educational and coaching package to support continued development and growth within the industry.
