Wonderful to see our leaders at First and beyond working together to amplify and evolve leadership values and community impact.
Wow, what a fantastic session! Our Credit Union Leadership and Coaching (CULC) Designation program delves into an array of important leadership issues. This week, our CULC-D cohort had the absolute honour of being joined by a panel of accomplished credit union executives to discuss the important topic of Leading Social Impact. The panelists explored why credit unions are uniquely positioned to create positive social, economic, and environmental impacts and how individuals can play a crucial role in leading the way forward. A huge thank you to Tara Chernoff, VP of Impact and Marketing at First Credit Union, for leading this important discussion, and our esteemed panelists: Brendan Reimer, Strategic Partner, Values Based Banking at Assiniboine Credit Union; Liz Arkinstall, Manager, Purpose Integration at Libro Credit Union; Maureen Young, Vice President, Social Purpose at Coast Capital Savings; and Archie Bonifacio, Chief Community Officer at YNCU. Your knowledge and insights were so informative and inspiring! We greatly admire the passion and expertise of these individuals and how their respective credit unions are leading by example in the area of social impact. Thank you! The ripple effect of this session will reverberate through our collective leadership!
