CUES Councils are regional groups of CUES members who meet close to home to engage in thoughtful discourse and share the credit union challenges and opportunities facing the industry, both on a global and local scale.

A key benefit of CUES councils is the chance to connect online and in-person with credit union executives in your area. Sharing credit union management experiences and strategies is a great way to advance your skills while learning from the problem solving abilities of your peers. Everyone benefits from the collaborative environment these councils foster, and the credit union as a whole is strengthened in the process.
