MADISON, Wis.— Thirty-six “emerging” credit union leaders who have the potential to create a lasting impact within the credit union industry have been selected to participate in the 2023 CUES Emerge program, offered in partnership with Currency.
“CUES Emerge is now in its fourth year; we’re very excited to have had a record 120 apply to participate,” said Jerry Saalsaa, CUES Interim CEO & SVP/CAO. “The 36 who were selected represent a cross-section of the credit union world.

"As the credit union industry continues to evolve, it's essential that we cultivate the next generation of leaders who will drive innovation and growth. I am thrilled to see such a talented and dynamic group of emerging credit union leaders selected to participate in this year's CUES Emerge program, and I have no doubt they will make a significant impact in the years to come," said Tim McAlpine, Currency Founder & CEO.
The CUES Emerge cohort is a diverse group, hailing from 17 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, and representing 32 different credit union roles. All are highly respected among their teams, having shown enormous growth in their development by driving change in their credit unions and the communities they serve.
This group will receive coaching, training and resources to build their leadership acumen and strategic thinking skill set. They will also benefit from the exclusive opportunity to collaborate with their peers during mastermind groups, where they will work to transform their ideas into a business case and compete for the chance to become the 2023 CUES Emerging Leader.
“With the support of our partners at Currency and a panel of judges, we will select a Final Five and Top Three before ultimately choosing the 2023 CUES Emerging Leader in October,” continued Saalsaa.

In Response to Bank Crisis, CUES Launches Safe and Sound: Resources for Financial Stability
MADISON, Wis.—Talent development leader CUES has launched Safe and Sound: Resources for Financial Stability to support credit unions in response to the recent bank crisis.
"The industry’s leaders know they can turn to CUES for support as they navigate the financial landscape, no matter what the current situation is,” said Jerry Saalsaa, CUES Interim CEO & SVP/CAO. “Although credit unions are required to maintain a much higher level of capital than banks, and are more restricted than banks in other areas such as the types of investments they can make and the percentage of business loans they can maintain in their portfolios, our side of the industry still stands to learn a lot from the event.”
To help credit unions avoid similar situations as the banks, Safe and Sound: Resources for Financial Stability includes collections of:
- Strategic planning and board oversight resources
- Curated content from other resources, offering perspectives from outside the industry
- A collection of insights from CFO Focus, a monthly CU Management column
- CUES educational resources, such as CUES School of Business Lending, CUES Governance Leadership Institute and CUES Governance Leadership Institute II: Emerging Technologies
“We’ll continue to add content to Safe and Sound: Resources for Financial Stability, offering an ongoing resource for the industry,” said Saalsaa.
