Research & Reports
What are the key indicators of governance excellence? Is your leadership getting it right?
The State of Credit Union Governance, 2023 report, an exploration of new insights and recommendations drawn from a recent governance survey of credit union boards and executive leadership. You’ll discover vital information on board member roles and responsibilities, trust, engagement, accountability, and how and why boards and management continue to be misaligned on governance.
Together David & Sharon Johnston Centre for Corporate Governance Innovation at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and Quantum Governance, L3C, with support from CUES have published a special report on COVID-19 and DEI: Revolution & Evolution Come to the Credit Union Community.
We were eager to study the impacts that the events of 2020 have had on the credit union industry and this report spotlights the top findings from each area of our research. Learn more about how board meetings of the future will take shape, and where the conversation around DEI is heading.
How are credit union boards performing? The State of Credit Union Governance, 2020 report reveals the results from a survey of credit union board, supervisory committee and executive leadership to help answer this very question.
Based on CUES Board Governance Assessment data collected over seven years, this report shares six key findings on the current state of credit union governance and offers expert recommendations.
Five Data-Driven Recommendations for Future Success
Key findings include:
- Board members and CEOs frequently differ on their perceptions regarding governance. Board members and CEOs differ on 84% of the survey’s crucial questions.
- Board member and CEO perceptions diverge based on tenure. Board members who have served many years have more positive views than those board members with less tenure. Conversely, CEOs with longer tenures tend to have more negative views than CEOs with shorter tenures.
