CUtoday.info
The judges for the 2016 CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec competition have been announced.
They are: Deedee Myers, CEO of DDJ Myers, CUES Strategic Partner and challenge sponsor, Phoenix; Matt Levandowski, president and CEO of Heritage Family Credit Union in Rutland, Vt.; and Ashley Kohlrus, chief operations officer at Allegacy Federal Credit Union in Winston-Salem, N.C. and 2012 Next Top Credit Union Exec Winner.
CUES reported that After a public vote and a judging panel of previous CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec participants reduced the original applicants to a Top 15, a judging panel of Myers, Levandowski and Kohlrus evaluated and scored each member of the Top 15. Judging was based on their original application video, their two blog posts and the value their project brings to their credit union and to the credit union industry as a whole. The five highest-ranking applicants were named as Finalists.
Judges are responsible for keeping up-to-date on the projects each of the five Finalists are reporting on at NextTopCreditUnionExec.com (www.ntcue.com), and for viewing the final presentations with a critical eye toward the criteria of creative thinking, content/idea, and style. Each Finalist will be given seven minutes to recap their project in a presentation face-off event at CUES' CEO/Executive Team Network (www.cues.org/cnet) in Savannah, Ga., Oct. 23-26, 2016.
