Connecticut League to Form
Young Credit Union Employee Collaboration Council
In a time where many credit unions are setting their sights on attracting the next generation of members, the Credit Union League of Connecticut is launching an inaugural young credit union employee networking council.
Following the success of the Filene Research Institute’s 30 Under 30 Program, the Connecticut League is recruiting credit union employees under the age of 35 to participate in a year-long networking and collaboration council. In Filene’s model, 30 credit union leaders under the age of 30, banded together as an entrepreneurial swat team to come up with ten implementable ideas to attract a new generation of credit union members, employees and volunteers. Following a presentation at the California Credit Union League Annual Meeting, many of these ideas were spearheaded by credit unions across the country as viable ways to focus on the future of the industry.
The League is seeking young credit union professionals to participate in this council.
