The League Champions Program is a year-long commitment (February 2026-February 2027) that brings together credit union professionals from across the state to promote The Wisconsin Credit Union League's events. This program is geared towards individuals who are eager to become more involved, grow professionally, network, and be rewarded for it!

Nine chapters operate across the state, holding monthly meetings from September-June. Chapter meetings are open to all credit union staff, volunteers, and their guests. The agenda of the meetings is typically a social hour, dinner, or business meeting and educational program or activity.

Chapter Vision
We promote strong credit unions, awareness and relevance of credit unions in their communities, and a stronger, more unified League of credit unions statewide, through:

  • Advocacy: Aggressively pursue opportunities to influence local leaders and lawmakers about the value credit unions provide to their communities.
  • Leadership Development: Create development pathways and resources that enable credit union professionals and volunteers to further their careers in The Movement.
  • Volunteer Recognition: Recognize the value of volunteers within The Movement.
  • Demonstrations of the Credit Union Philosophy: Showcase The Credit Union Difference in ways to sustain the viability of credit unions and increase the awareness of the value that credit unions provide to consumers.
  • Networking Opportunities: Promote cooperation among credit unions.
  • League Connection: Provide a channel for information to and from The League.
  • Community Involvement: Encourage credit union engagement in community projects.
