MADISON, Wis.— CUES plans to celebrate its members and honor its award winners and CUES Hall of Fame inductees online today during the CUES Member Appreciation & Awards Event. The event, sponsored by TruStage, is free and open to all CUES members.
“TriviaHub will serve as host and lead attendees through a fun and lively trivia showdown happening throughout,” said Jimese Harkley, VP-membership. “We hope to see your name on the leaderboard. We’ll also pay tribute to International Credit Union Day by partnering with the Worldwide Foundation of Credit Unions’ Members Helping Members Campaign,” said Harkley. “CUES will donate a dollar for every LinkedIn post using #CUESawards23 shared on Oct. 19 and 20.
