Deedee Myers, Ph. D., CEO of DDJ Myers, said, “Having been a judge for a number of previous CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec challenges, I’ve witnessed how difficult it is for the finalists even to make it to the finals. The finalists have worked very hard with their videos, extra blog posts, and sharing on social media. People will want to tune in to the live-stream next week to see their final presentations and learn more about their project ideas.”
