YP Crashers Chosen for ELEVATE and Hike the Hill

Crashers are encouraged to interact with and learn from industry leaders while attending the regular conference sessions and events along with special “crasher only” breakouts. Crash ELEVATE allows young professionals to contribute their insights as rising leaders and showcase the impact they wish to make in the industry.

Each crasher will receive complimentary conference registration and be able to apply for a $500 grant to help defray travel expenses.

What’s the Value of ELEVATE to YPs?

Here are just a few of the reasons these young professionals are excited about being chosen as this year’s ELEVATE Crashers:

Courtney Wingo: “I have dedicated my life to the cause of people helping people. I believe that attending events such as this one only deepens that dedication and reignites the passion for service that can be lost in the monotony of day-to-day operations. I want to utilize this event to strengthen my own personal development and build new relationships at the same time.”

Myra Jackson: “I am in the stage of my career where developing my professional skills and increasing my knowledge base are important to effectively prepare for the future. Right now, I am managing employees from four different generations so getting some tips on how I can navigate this unique situation would be a great opportunity.”

Miguel Garcia: “I am passionate about the credit union difference: people helping people. As a fresh leader in the credit union industry, I want to be able to elevate my leadership skills so I can effectively lead my team and collaborate with my superiors. My hope, after attending ELEVATE Leadership, is to [gain] knowledge on how to more effectively implement new strategies to increase our presence within the community and incorporate new ideas to reinvigorate the credit union industry.”

Hot off the press!
