Cornerstone Councils

^{Read time: 1 min, 12 secs}

Cornerstone’s Council Program is growing! More than 1,000 credit union staff and volunteers from the region are members of one or more Cornerstone Councils. With the launch of the Fraud Council in November 2023, we now offer 11 councils for staff and volunteers—all free for anyone to join.

Fun Fact: Cornerstone Council members posted nearly 1,000 messages in our online Connect community. Of those 1,000 messages, more than 300 were new conversations. That’s practically a new post every day in 2023.

Council involvement can build professional connections, elevate leadership experiences, and ignite dynamic peer engagement, no matter where you are in your career journey.
