MADISON, Wis.— CUES is now accepting applications for its 2024 emerging leader program, CUES Emerge.
The program is offered in partnership with Currency Marketing at no cost to participants.
“CUES Emerge is a transformative leadership development program that can help accelerate career advancement,” CEO Heather McKissick said in a statement. “More than 130 credit union employees have completed it since it began in 2020. Along the way, it has morphed into much more than just a learning experience; it has become a catalyst for personal and professional growth and development.”
According to CUES, applicants who are accepted into the multifaceted program first attend expert-led CUES Virtual Classroom sessions covering strategic thinking, communication skills, and design thinking.
“These sessions are interspersed with Mastermind sessions, designed to further support the learning and guide participants in building a business case for their credit union,” CUES said.
Participants who complete the course work and business case in full earn the Certified Credit Union Manager designation.
The Competition Phase
The organization further noted that participants can then choose to take part in the competition phase of the program for a chance to be one of five selected to present their business case during a live online pitch show. The ultimate winner, the CUES Emerging Leader, and two runners-up, chosen by a panel of judges, will earn a valuable tiered educational package, leadership assessment, and coaching to support continued development and growth within the movement.
“Upon completing CUES Emerge, many alumni have passionately undertaken the groundbreaking projects created during the business case development portion of the program, benefiting their respective credit unions immensely—and often leading to new roles within their organizations,” said McKissick.
