MADISON, Wis.— Thirty “up-and-coming” credit union leaders have been selected to participate in the CUES Emerge 2022 program. All participants were selected based on their “potential to create a lasting impact within the credit union industry,” CUES stated.
According to CUES, the group will receive coaching, training and resources to build their leadership acumen and strategic thinking skill set. They will also benefit from the exclusive opportunity to collaborate with their peers during mastermind groups, where they will work to transform their ideas into a business case and compete for the chance to become the 2022 CUES Emerging Leader, the organization added.
“Our third year of CUES Emerge proves that the field of talent is as strong as ever in the credit union industry,” said President/CEO John Pembroke. “The 30 selected to participate represent a cross-section of the credit union world. We’re excited for them to begin their journey, and to see what they learn from the program.
Final 5, Then Top 3, Then 1
“With the support of our partners at Currency, and a panel of judges, we will select a Final Five and Top Three before ultimately choosing the 2022 CUES Emerging Leader in October,” continued Pembroke.
CUES said the new CUES Emerge cohort is a diverse group, hailing from 17 states and representing 23 different credit union roles.
“All are highly respected among their teams, having shown enormous growth in their development by driving change in their credit unions and the communities they serve,” CUES said.

6 ‘Masterminds’
Meanwhile, CUES said guiding the participants are six “Masterminds” who have been hand-selected for their leadership, industry impact and drive to develop themselves and others.
The six Masterminds include:
- Geoff Bullock, EVP-member experience, Royal Credit Union, Eau Claire, Wis.
- Clark Duncan, product manager, CU NextGen, Wilmington, Del.
- Alyssa Guillory, VP-marketing, Unity One Credit Union, Fort Worth, Texas
- Alex Hsu, VP-planning & change management, SchoolsFirst FCU, Tustin, Calif.
- James Hunter, chief diversity officer, New Orleans Fishermen’s FCU, Metairie, La.
- Emily Strybosch, brand specialist & coach, Libro Credit Union, London, Ontario, Canada
‘Integral Part’
CUES said all Masterminds previously participated in CUES Emerge or its predecessor, the CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec (NTCUE) competition. Hsu is the 2021 CUES Emerging Leader. Hunter and Guillory were CUES Emerge participants in 2020. Duncan and Strybosch were part of the NTCUE competition in 2018. And, Bullock was named the winner of NTCU competition in 2017.
“The Masterminds are an integral part of the CUES Emerge program,” CUES said. “Each will support five participants, helping them connect the learning to their business case, and supporting them through to the competition phase.”
