Sister Societies
Sister Societies are local Global Women Leadership Network chapters (part of the World Council of Credit Unions) established around the world to further the Network’s global mission of making a local impact. Chapter members do this by convening credit union leaders (men and women), discussing credit union issues, exchanging ideas, networking with neighboring credit union leaders, and sharing lessons learned. Sister Societies also provide an opportunity to talk through important issues impacting women leaders in credit unions.
The Sister Society initiative within the Cornerstone region is part of the League’s International Relationship Committee.
Upcoming Meetings

In celebration of International Credit Union Day, the North Texas Sister Society will feature Tail O’ The Bank Credit Union CEO Beth Welsh from the United Kingdom at its Oct. 21 virtual Zoom meeting, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. CT.
Welsh’s presentation will focus on Britain’s credit union sector. This will be an outstanding opportunity for attendees to discuss the differences and similarities across the global credit union sector.

She was awarded the Minerva Award for the Empowerment of Girls and Women at the Edward Filene Credit Union Awards in November 2019.
She has served on the Scottish Policy Panel and helped to shape the credit union policy agenda for Scotland.
