View Presentations, Vote for CUES® Next Top Credit Union Exec, Oct. 24

Final presentations for the 2016 CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec challenge are set for Monday, October 24, during CUES’ CEO/Executive Team Network™ in Savannah, Ga. The competition is supported by a partnership with CUES strategic partner DDJ Myers Ltd., Phoenix, and CUES Supplier member Currency, Chilliwack, B.C., Canada.

The Finalists, five young credit union employees, have been blogging and posting videos at NextTopCreditUnionExec.com about their respective projects in preparation for the face-off event, which will be live streamed via NextTopCreditUnionExec.com.

The five Finalists are:

  • Ali Fett, Verve, a Credit Union, Oshkosh, Wis., United States
  • Colleen Tilton, Blackhawk Community Credit Union, Janesville, Wis., United States
  • Michael Murdoch, NW Priority Credit Union, Portland, Ore, United States
  • Nicole Haverly, Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union, Saint Paul, Minn., United States
  • Shannon Cahoon, Fibre Federal Credit Union, Longview, Wash., United States

The Finalists will have seven minutes to recap their projects for the judging panel and audience, who will then vote for their favorite Finalist.

CUES member and Judge Ashley Kohlrus, chief operations officer at Allegacy Federal Credit Union in Winston-Salem, N.C. said, “Having been a former CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec challenge winner, I know how difficult it is to even get to this stage of the competition. The Finalists have worked very hard with their videos, blog posts, and sharing on social media. No matter who wins, the credit union system will become stronger because of the work of these Finalists.”

The public can also vote online for their favorite Finalists between 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on October 24 and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on October 25.
