With the mass exodus of credit union executives today — especially CEOs, the time is ripe for new blood to take over the reigns and drive this industry to new heights for the next couple decades. If this is you or you know somebody in this position or you’re a credit union looking for a new CEO, check out this episode with DDJ Myers Vice President Peter Myers explaining how to prepare to be a CEO in today’s credit union environment — which is much, much different than it was 10, 20 years ago — maybe even 5 years ago.

The credit union industry is seeing a mass exodus of CEOs like never before. This widespread retirement is a double-edged sword for CUs, as experienced executives leave to start new chapters of their lives and new blood comes in to introduce new ideas to keep the industry relevant. But finding this new blood is a challenge for most credit union boards looking to make the right hire to ensure another couple of decades of quality leadership.

This presentation from the 2015 CUES Execu/Summit® offers self-assessment tools based upon eight leadership archetypes. You’ll gain an understanding of your board type and ability for strategic capacity. You’ll also learn a proven way to take ideas into effective action through exemplary leadership communication, coordination and collaboration. This is ideal for your entire board and management team; they will walk away with a fresh perspective on why things happen the way they do and new options to consider.

Every credit union should be lead by an effective and high-performing board which is collectively responsible for the success of the members.

Good governance is both
difficult and easy. Being in the right practices creates a systematic approach to effective governance.

In this presentation we will discus:

• Governance Perspective
• Systematic Approach
• New practices to take home

Every credit union should be lead by an effective and high-performing board which is collectively responsible for the success of the members. In this presentation, we discuss how to create and sustain a high performing board.
