Young Professionals Council and Youth Involvement
 

The Young Professionals Council is a group of credit union staff and volunteers, 35 years of age and younger. The goal of the Council is to (1) promote its members' personal and professional growth, and (2) provide direction and support to develop The Network - an  informal association of young credit union staff and volunteers in Wisconsin that are interested in education, development and networking opportunities within the credit union movement. The Council may also be asked to provide input on educational programs and outreach directed toward young adults.

 

The Young Professionals Council will be appointed annually at the sole discretion of The League President and meet as requested by League staff, at least 3 times annually.

 

Council candidates must have a strong interest or be currently engaged in credit union advocacy, education or volunteerism beyond their current job role (examples include, but not limited to: registered Activist, Chapter leader, involvement in community outreach and events, youth financial education presenter).
