Interested in becoming a Young Professional Advisor?

Are you up for the challenge?

The YP Advisors are enterprising young credit union professionals, who help shake things up, bring about change in the system, and spark new ideas and growth within the credit union movement. Sound like you?

You’re in luck! It’s time to select a new group of YP Advisors. Applications are now being accepted until Sept. 13. Finalists will go through a phone interview, and Cornerstone YP staff will select the new advisors.

The goal of the YP Advisors is to bring the best and brightest young minds from Cornerstone’s credit unions together around three goals:

1. Incite positive change for the future;
2. Break down barriers to collaboration; and
3. Bring new perspectives to the credit union system.

As a YP advisor, the formula for how you’ll spend your time is:

• Two parts project-focused working group;
• One part think tank for the credit union system; and
• One part advisory group to the Cornerstone Credit Union League.

Change-makers
YP Advisors are described as:

• Hard-working
• Participatory
• Ambitious
• Decisive
• Empathetic
• Self-starters
• Social
• Outspoken
• Objective
• Creative
• Courageous

Opportunities
By becoming a YP Advisor, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Get your hands dirty implementing programs to engage and empower young credit union professionals;
• Shape future League initiatives and events;
• Design programs that improve the credit union system; and
• Gain access to League training and networking opportunities!

Commitment
If chosen to be a YP Advisor, you’ll need to be available for:

• The first in-person meeting Dec. 17-18 in Plano, Texas;
• At least four in-person workshops per year with travel expenses—airfare and mileage—covered. All other costs—such as hotel, food, and gas—will be the responsibility of your credit union;
• Many project designs and rollouts over the course of your two-year term;
• Ongoing phone and online conversations throughout your term; and
• Planning and implementing meetups in your area, as well as working on meetups in your assigned chapter areas.
