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
Sister Society chapters hold networking and educational events throughout the year. Keep checking back for more events.

More than 60 credit union leaders from seven Wichita-area credit unions attended the Kansas/Missouri Sister Society meeting on May 2 at Groover Labs in Wichita. The meeting focused on imposter syndrome and how it affects leaders professionally and personally.
Jenna Bottolfsen, career management and development coach and owner of Wallace Associates, led the interactive meeting. Participants shared their personal experiences with anxiety and confidence (or lack thereof) and shared strategies to overcome imposter syndrome and feelings of inadequacy.
The meeting was hosted and planned by Sister Society members from Credit Union of America, Heartland Credit Union, and Meritrust Credit Union. Sponsors included Origence, Velocity, M2 the Agency, and Strategy Corps.
