That’s why we’ve curated these updates to keep you in the loop on exclusive events that foster connections and initiatives designed to help elevate your career. Read on to find out what’s on the horizon.

 

Join your peers at ELEVATE: Credit Union Leadership Summit

Attending the ELEVATE: Credit Union Leadership Summit can impact a Young Professional’s career and advance their knowledge of what it takes to be a next-level leader. Join other YPs and credit union leaders Sept. 13–15 in Oklahoma City to learn from and network with your credit union peers.

The ELEVATE conference provides opportunities for YPs to listen to credit union and industry leaders speak about what it takes to lead in a complex and changing credit union landscape. The relationships forged and insights gained at ELEVATE will last your entire career.

CEOs: Invest in your YP and challenge them to return with one impactful tactic that they can implement at your credit union. Afterward, stand back and watch them succeed.

YPs giving back

The YP Advisors are spearheading a fundraiser at ELEVATE: Credit Union Leadership Summit to support Positive Tomorrows, a nonprofit organization based out of Oklahoma City.

As school starts up for thousands of kids across Oklahoma, Positive Tomorrows works as Oklahoma's only school and social services agency specifically for children and families experiencing homelessness. They give kids stability and a quality education while giving their parents the support they need to create a better life.

By bringing school supplies to ELEVATE: Credit Union Leadership Summit you can help break the cycle of homelessness and poverty for children in the state of Oklahoma.

YPs aim to become 2023 SYNG Champions

The YP Advisors have chosen to give back to the Cornerstone Foundation by once again participating in their annual fundraising event, SYNG, which is held at ELEVATE: Credit Union Leadership Summit.

SYNG is an evening with dinner, drinks, and great entertainment—a lip-syncing competition. The YP Advisors will compete on stage for bragging rights and the official trophy. The winners are determined by the most votes, aka, the most money raised ($1/vote).

Voting is going on now! If you want to see us overthrow the current champion, text YPGiveBack to 44321 to vote for us. Please help us achieve our goal of being crowned the 2023 SYNG Champions.
