Executive Leadership eSchool 2026
America’s Credit Unions Executive Leadership eSchool
Executive Leadership eSchool is a focused, high-impact program designed for credit union leaders ready to elevate performance across their organization. Today’s financial services landscape is increasingly competitive and complex. Success requires more than strong strategy; it demands disciplined execution, alignment, and accountability at every level of leadership.
This eSchool explores the habits, behaviors, and frameworks that define high-performing credit unions, from the boardroom to the executive team. Through practical insights and real-world application, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to drive results, strengthen leadership alignment, and position your organization for sustained success.
Speaking Sessions:
Session 1 – The High-Performing Organization: Strategic Alignment and Competitive Edge
Description – High performance starts and ends with an organization embodying a clearly defined strategic framework. Beyond defining a great-for-the-website mission, vision, and values, executive management and operational leaders yearn for the strategic substance that guides their execution efforts to deliver even more meaningful results. This session outlines the most critical elements to developing a clear, relevant, and holistic strategy that is pragmatically and measurably embraced by the entire organization.
Date & Time – July 7, 2026 from 10 – 11 a.m. CT
Session 2 – The Habits of Highly Effective Boards
Description – Boards have a unique opportunity to transcend their advisory and oversight roots and become decisive architects of strategic priority. Moving beyond the board’s role of “responsible for the general direction and control” to effectively declare and frame what is and is not strategically important is the critical governance challenge for boards today. Perhaps most importantly, assessing and defining effective governance is a continuous discipline, not a generational event. This webinar will provide a framework for measuring the board’s governing impact through observable, actionable habits that will enhance every credit union governing body.
Date & Time – July 8, 2026 from 10 – 11 a.m. CT
Session 3 – The Unified Front: Characteristics of High-Performing Executive Teams
Description – Many executive teams, not by design or intent, “play not to lose”. Being part of a high-performing executive team can be as uncomfortable as it is life-changing. The opportunity for our industry’s executive teams is to regularly calibrate their mindset, evolve their standard practices, elevate their performance, and be accountable to the results. Good can always get better. The observable and repeatable characteristics outlined in this webinar, when implemented together, will measurably increase executive team alignment and performance.
Date & Time – July 9, 2026 from 10 – 11 a.m. CT
Session 4 – The CEO Mandate: Balancing Strategy, Execution, Opportunity, and Growth
Description – Any great CEO will acknowledge that greatness is a temporary phenomenon and requires more than a year’s worth of strong financial and operational results. The consequential demands attributed, as well as the uniqueness of opportunities afforded, to the CEO role can be as nuanced and unforgiving as they are rewarding. Boards’ challenge is to provide the developmental feedback that is both character focused and is rooted in objective organizational results. CEOs’ challenge is to regularly calibrate their leadership to the needs of the organization, board, teams, and members. This webinar will outline what boards measure and assess as excellence in their CEO Performance Evaluations.
Date & Time – July 10, 2026 from 10 – 11 a.m. CT
