CUES Refreshes Next Top CU Exec as CUES Emerge
CU Today
MADISON, Wis.—The Credit Union Executives Society said its CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec (NTCUE) competition has undergone a thorough refresh and evolved into CUES Emerge. The program for the industry’s next top credit union leaders is powered by Currency.
According to CUES, CUES Emerge is a multi-faceted challenge that features online learning, peer collaboration and a business case competition. It is open to all age groups, and the program is free to participants. The challenge features a number of prizes including an all-expense-paid trip to CEO/Executive Team Network 2020, where the ultimate winner will be presented with their award, and be interviewed live on stage at the event.
“After nine very successful years as CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec competition, we wanted to take what we’ve learned and improve every aspect of the challenge,” said John Pembroke, CUES president/CEO. “CUES Emerge offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience with opportunities to learn, collaborate and grow unlike anything available anywhere, and it embodies CUES’ mission to bring the finest in talent development opportunities to the industry.”
CUES said there are two key phases to the program—an education phase and a competition phase. Any emerging leader, whether an existing CUES member or not, may apply by completing an application form from January 28 to March 10, 2020 at cuesemerge.com.
Up to 30 Applicants
Up to 30 applicants will be accepted; they will participate in three CUES Elite Access Virtual Classroom courses that will take place between April 8 and May 13, 2020. Concurrently, CUES said three Mastermind sessions will be held with the cohort of applicants, facilitated by a group of former CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec winners, finalists and industry leaders.
“Then, participants will create a business case. All who complete the course work and business case in full will earn the Certified Credit Union Manager designation,” CUES said. “Next, participants can self-select to enter the Competition phase. From that group, Five Finalists will be chosen by a judging panel. They will receive professional coaching and mentoring, and participate in an online pitch show, hosted by Tim McAlpine in the Currency Marketing Studio.”
From there, a Top Three will receive an education and coaching package which includes registration to CUES School of Applied Strategic Management in 2021.
At the same time, CUES said, the ultimate winner will be announced and named the 2020 CUES Emerging Leader. That person will receive an all-expense-paid trip to CEO/Executive Team Network Nov. 2-4, 2020 in Austin, Texas, including an award presentation, a live interview and an ongoing coaching package.
