Minn. Credit Union Women’s Leadership Network Celebrates Accomplishments

11/22/2022

 
Last week, credit union professionals from across Minnesota gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of Minnesota Credit Union Women’s Leadership Network this past year. The mission of the Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) is to inspire, empower, and advance Minnesota credit union women by creating a community of belonging, providing tools for personal and professional development, and resources to help women influence their legacy. The Minnesota Credit Union Women’s Leadership Network is a sister society of the World Council of Credit Unions’ Global Women’s Leadership Network.
The following accomplishments were achieved in 2022:
  • Held 5 events  - 3 virtual, 2 in person
  • 24 credit unions participated​
  • Provided 224 hours of professional development
  • Hosted speakers at Accelerate 22 & LEAD 22
  • Expanded Ambassador steering group and appointed new chair
  • Sponsored Coats for Kids, a Coat and Winter Gear Drive to support Kinship Partners at Lead 22

​The Anniversary Celebration was held Jax Café in Minneapolis, and featured keynote speaker Elisa Vicuña, co-founder of the Minnesota Aurora, a women-led, community owned soccer team. Elisa shared the Aurora story, and how this organization uses soccer to bring people together and lift up women and girls from marginalized communities.
Watch for details on 2023 events coming in the new year. Those interested in receiving notifications about opportunities may sign up for Women’s Leadership Network communications. Instructions are available on the Women’s Leadership Network page online. ​

Credit Union Professionals Recognized as Top Women in Finance; Notable Leaders in Marketing

11/22/2022

 
Kathleen (Kathy) Harrington, President and CEO of Heartland Credit Union and Rachel Studier, Chief Operation Officer of Mayo Employees Federal Credit Union, were honored at a networking and awards event on Nov. 10 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis in downtown Minneapolis. 

​Finance & Commerce’s Top Women in Finance program recognizes women who are making an impact in their professions and communities by breaking down barriers and paving the way for those that come after. An outside panel of experts reviewed the nominations and helped to select the honorees.
SPIRE's Credit Union Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Lisa Lehman, and ​TopLine Financial Credit Union’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Vicki Roscoe Erickson, were both named one as Twin Cities Business 2022 Notable Leaders in Marketing. 

Marketing professionals are tasked with effectively connecting brands with their target audiences and the larger public. In a time marked by a pandemic, labor and supply shortages, inflation, a social justice movement, and demands for equity, that’s not a simple job. But TCB’s 2022 Notable Leaders in Marketing have proven themselves, and the brands they represent, worthy of recognition.
