Make the Most of Your Membership

Written by Dominic DiFrancesco, Member Engagement Consultant, CrossState

CrossState Credit Union Association is dedicated to building and strengthening community, which is why we offer numerous opportunities for credit union professionals and leaders to engage with peers, lawmakers, our team, and more. When we collaborate, we can achieve personal and professional growth and further the credit union movement.

Events

From leadership and advocacy to marketing and industry trends, we recognize and appreciate the deep well of expertise found across our membership. If you have insight or valuable takeaways to share, we invite you to submit a speaker proposal for consideration at future events. This is your chance to educate, inspire, and challenge the current and future leaders of the movement!

Peer Groups

Designed to foster learning and connection, our IT and HR Peer Groups come together once a quarter to exchange ideas and tackle challenges alongside those who understand the complexities of their respective niches. Each meeting includes an hour-long presentation from a subject matter expert followed by an open discussion focused on top trends and best practices. CEOs also have the chance to engage with fellow execs at quarterly events, touching base on the most relevant leadership topics.

Next HR Peer Group: December 17 | 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

Next IT Peer Group: December 18 | 10 a.m.–12 p.m.
