THE FUTURE OF CREDIT UNIONS

Investing in young professionals is incredibly important, not just for individual credit unions, but for our movement as a whole. That is why the Illinois Credit Union League is committed to developing events, leadership opportunities and partnerships specifically for our new and young talent. These YP programs help demonstrate what makes our movement different and encourages young professionals to grow and develop into the next leaders of our industry.
