CUNA's Project Zip Code is a powerful advocacy tools that allows the Minnesota Credit Union Network to share with individual legislators how many credit union members are in their districts.
The Tristate Mentor Match is a 12-month program designed to build, grow, support, and inspire credit union professionals in their careers and commitment to the Credit Union Movement. It envisions relationships based upon commitment, common goals and expectations, and mutual trust and respect, in which both the mentee and mentor grow in the process.
This program is a partnership among the Minnesota Credit Union Network, Montana’s Credit Unions and the Wisconsin Credit Union League to expand our reach and bring our collective members a rich and diverse opportunity to network and grow. “I think this mentorship program was one of the best ideas and collaborations I have ever been a part of! My mentor has been FANTASTIC and I am still trying to figure out how the team was able to match us so perfectly. She has been vital to my recent successes and helped me find more confidence within my role, my development, and myself. I highly recommend this program!” Caitlin Brama, Branch Manager, Financial One Credit Union. Applications are now open for both mentees and mentors. Deadline to apply is August 5, 2022, and the program kicks off in September. More information is available on our online mentorship page.

They have offered countless hours and steadfast guidance to help Minnesota Catholic Credit Union prosper, and help thousands of members over the years. In 2011, they received the Minnesota Credit Union Network Volunteer of the Year award; and in 2019 were inducted into the national Credit Union House Hall of Leaders, in recognition for the significant impact they have made on the credit union movement at the local, state and national levels. Created in 2008, the Credit Union Builder Award honors an individual’s dedication to the success, growth, and vitality of the not-for-profit financial movement in Minnesota. Dedications are typically made at a time of significance to acknowledge an individual’s contributions to credit unions. 81 individuals have been designated as Credit Union Builders since the award's inception. The names of the recipients and the contributing credit unions are permanently displayed in the Minnesota Credit Union Network’s lobby as a tribute to those who have dedicated time and energy to building the credit union movement. Contact Andrea Molnau, Executive Director of the MnCUF with questions. The deadline to submit projects for the annual Dora Maxwell, Louise Herring and Desjardins Financial Education recognition programs is Friday, June 24. Submitted projects should have primarily taken place during 2021.
