During this time, the overall winner will be announced on the main stage, receiving a full scholarship to CUNA’s 4-day Emerging Leader Institute along with the coveted title.
"One of the most significant things we can do as the state trade association is elevate the profiles of individuals paving the way and provide opportunities such as this to strengthen and amplify their leadership skills,” said Lacey Weaver, LCUL Senior Vice President. “The collective experiences of this class have made waves on local, state, and national levels. We look forward to working with them and witness their emergence as not only leaders in the movement but role models for future influencers of the industry.”
