Nearly 150 credit union professionals and board members attended LEAD 23 at Madden's on Gull Lake in Brainerd last week. General and Breakout Sessions featured industry experts providing insight and relevant information on top credit union issues. Sessions throughout the event were designed for both credit union professionals and Board members. 

​Speakers included:

• Cindra Kamphoff, Beyond Grit: Powerful Practices to Gain the High Performing Edge 
  
• Daniel Shannon, Employee Engagement 
  
• Stephen Nelson, Credit Union of Tomorrow: Utopian Dream or Dystopian Nightmare?
• Jack Stahlmann, The Intangible It
• Jeff Rendel, A Dashboard for Strategic Governance 

Additionally, the 2022-2023 Trailblazer Executive Readiness cohort presented their credit union case studies while the new cohort kicked off the 12-month program.  MnCUN’s Trailblazers Executive Readiness Training program is designed to accelerate executive level leadership skills and build credit union specific knowledge needed to succeed in our industry.

​After a 6-week hiatus, Congress is back in session and needs to pass a budget or a short-term continuing resolution before the current fiscal year ends or the federal government will shut down on October 1. 

Appendix E to 12 CFR §1002 Subpart B has amended the sample collection form for demographic information about principal owners for reporting.

“MnCUN is excited to collaborate again with our league partners to connect top talent in the Tri-State Mentorship Program,” said Mara Humphrey, President of the Minnesota Credit Union Network. “We are grateful and proud to have so many participants from Minnesota commit their time and talent to the credit union movement.”

​​The pairs will meet monthly for the next year, supported by a program guide, check-ins from league staff, and additional resources to help maximize the experience for both the mentee and mentor.
