MADISON, Wis.—CUES has announced credit union professionals and directors industry-wide can sign up for a free, 45-day trial membership. 

During the trial, participants will have unrestricted access to CUES resources such as: 

• CUES Learning Portal, which offers easy access to curated content and pre-set learning pathways to help members expand their skill set. 
• Online education for board members through CUES Director Education Center.
• CUES Elite Access^™ Virtual Classroom, highly interactive online training which allows participants to talk and interact with peers and experts, problem-solve, and build relationships, right from their desk. 
• CUESNet^™, the online networking community where CUES members can connect and share with each other, join communities, access a documents library, discover membership tips, and more. 

“CUES has enhanced our benefits to provide access to many digital options,” said Jimese Harkley, CUES’ VP/Membership. “We’re happy to offer the free trial—we feel it’s more important than ever to make sure our training and development platforms can be accessed without travel, or from the comfort of home.” 

“CUES is here to support the industry, and we want the industry’s professionals to have access to our online talent development tools to help them keep their professional edge,” said John Pembroke, CUES’ President/CEO. “Plus, our turnkey solutions can benefit everyone at the credit union—from executives and board members to the front-line staff.”

CUES offers three membership benefit levels—Individual, Unlimited, and Unlimited+. Credit unions joining at either Unlimited level can offer the membership to everyone at their credit union, including all employees, board members, and committee members.

CUES’ mission is to educate and develop credit union CEOs, executives, directors and future leaders. 
 

The senseless killing of George Floyd, which led to the current social unrest, peaceful protests, and calls for change around the globe, was merely the most recent case of racial injustice, and the latest catalyst in a long history of social bias and systemic racism that has plagued humanity.

CUES stands with those who stand for change. To that end, CUES is making a commitment to help the industry take on the uncomfortable conversations that must happen to truly address the problems of racism and bias humanity faces. 

This is a pivotal moment. We will be part of the solution, to keep these issues in the forefront, and overcome them. After all, CUES exists to support and strengthen the credit union industry and help improve the lives of those in the communities they serve.

These may merely be words, but we never forget these words represent people—real people facing real challenges. 

Here’s What We’re Doing Now
We’ve long offered resources on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As such, we’ve created a resource page hosting many tools to help credit union leaders guide their institutions to a better tomorrow. 

These include CUES Elite Access^™ Virtual Classroom courses that are now open to everyone in the industry regardless of membership status.

And In The Future 
CUES commits to making investments in DEI, continuing to build on our resources. Expect more from us in the future, including diversity assessments, and development and educational tools for both individuals and organizations.

With COVID-19 as an ongoing issue causing a health and economic crisis, followed by the protests and calls for change and action, we know credit unions and the support they offer their communities are more important than ever before. 

We’re here to stand by the movement, and make these changes a reality in a very tangible way. 

Together, we are stronger, and our combined power is limitless.
