CUES® Announces Welcome to Credit Union Leadership Manual as Newest Member Benefit
MADISON, Wis.— Welcome to Credit Union Leadership: A guide for executives who are new to the CU industry, is now available for CUES members to download.
The 30-page manual was developed to help executives who started off in other sectors shine when they join the credit union movement.
“We’ve seen a growing trend of credit union talent being recruited from other financial services industries and business sectors,” said Jimese Harkley, JD, CUDE, CUES VP/Membership. “Our hope is this guide will help these talented executives and emerging leaders understand the philosophy of the industry and thrive in their new role, while gaining an understanding of what makes the credit union movement so special.”
The manual offers a look into the history of the industry in North America, its legal foundation in the U.S. and Canada, strategic challenges and opportunities, similarities and differences between the movement and other sectors, tips on moving up the ladder, and ways for leaders to start strong and hit the ground running.
“In developing this manual, we turned to six executives who shared their perspectives on joining credit unions from other business sectors with us,” said Harkley. “Their insights will be invaluable to the industry’s newest executives.”
Readers will also find key laws and regulations, and common industry terms to help these executives as they embark on their new career.
Members can download the manual now by logging in at cues.org and selecting “Access My Benefits.”

Cybersecurity - It's an Everybody Thing Playback
We hear it all the time: “Ignorance is bliss”. Sadly, this is far from the truth when it comes to cybersecurity. A staff of uninformed employees could be a liability for security breaches. With no room for vulnerability in the workplace, employees must be educated to be aware of scamming, hacking, and other criminal dangers that could affect your business.
Many organizations offload cybersecurity exclusively to the IT department, but there are many facets of cybersecurity that need to be managed by every single employee. This session will bridge the distance between the end users, IT, and executives about cybersecurity and provide actionable steps to increase the cybersecurity footprint of your organization. We believe "Education is power" and we want to help empower your users to guard against common attacks.

Elite Access Course: Mentoring at Work Sessions 1 & 2 Playback
As a recent survey from Olivet Nazareth University points out, over 75% of people think that mentors are important for success, but only 37% have one. That so many believe that mentors are critical to success is not surprising. What is a bit of an eye-opener is that so few have a mentor.
Mentors provide the guidance, support, experience, and wisdom that is often the key ingredient for career success. Mentors are all around us and readily available. Often all we need is a better understanding of how mentoring works to be able to take those critical first steps in establishing effective mentoring relationships.
This course will demystify the mentoring process and provide the understanding and tools necessary to find your mentor.
