Step one is to apply to the CUES Emerging Leader Program. Up to 36 applicants will be accepted into the online program which includes live instruction and an opportunity to collaborate with other participants.
Three Virtual Classroom courses will be held every other week. These interactive online sessions are designed to build knowledge and understanding through connections with subject matter experts and peers.
Three Mastermind sessions will be held between each Virtual Classroom course. These cohort discussions and work groups will support the application of learning and guide business case development.
The educational portion will culminate with each participant creating and submitting a business case.
All participants that successfully complete the course and business case will receive a Certified Credit Union Manager designation.
