CUES Emerge is an emerging leader program that combines online learning, peer collaboration and an exciting competition component. Plus, there’s NO COST to participate! Applications accepted until February 9.
CUES and Currency Marketing have enjoyed a long-standing partnership dating back to 2010 when, together, we launched the inaugural CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec competition. In 2020, CUES Emerge was launched and built on the success of CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec. Over the past 15 years, CUES has awarded more than $500,000 in prizes and has impacted the lives of countless young credit union professionals.
CUES is an independent, not-for-profit, international membership association. Our mission is to educate and develop credit union CEOs, executives, directors and future leaders.
Currency Marketing is a leading financial education provider for credit unions, with its flagship program, It’s a Money Thing. We help credit unions attract, educate and inspire young adult members.
Envision Excellence is a leadership consulting firm and will be providing executive coaching to our winner and runners up.
All participants that successfully complete the online courses, Mastermind sessions and a business case will receive a Certified Credit Union Manager designation.
Five finalists will be announced in August and move forward with the competition phase of CUES Emerge. These five will receive coaching and present their business case to our judging panel and a live online audience. The top three will receive further education opportunities and coaching.
