“The Mitchell Stankovic Underground challenged the status quo once again partnering with CUNA Mutual Group to bring together industry thought leaders to engage Employee Resource Groups and change the industry from the inside out,” said Brandi Stankovic, chief strategy officer with CU Solutions Group.

Robust ERG Program
Mitchell Stankovic noted CUNA Mutual has a robust Engagement Resource Group program with 13 ERGs and more than 1,200 employees engaged.
“From African- and Asian- American to Allies with Disabilities and the Modern Family, CUNA Mutual has demonstrated a commitment to culture and diversity for its employees,” CUNA Mutual said.
According to the company, each ERG was invited to the event with breakout sessions led by 14 industry thought-leaders to share ideas, best practices and challenge the industry and their organization. to action.
“I love seeing leaders like this, who were so authentic and willing to share their stories and their lives to help the movement,” said Gerry Singleton, vice president of credit union system relations at CUNA Mutual. “These efforts and impact will be felt and known for a long time. Thanks for joining us in this great journey.”
