Spotlight on Small Credit Unions: Building Stronger Leadership from Within

Posted by on July 3, 2025

Small Credit Union Roundtable

Small credit unions play a vital role in our communities — and strong, forward-thinking leadership is key to ensuring their continued success. This year’s Small Credit Union Roundtable (SCURT) at MAXX will feature a must-attend session tailored specifically for those navigating the unique challenges of growth and succession at small credit unions.

Being presented during the session, Strengthening Leadership Pipelines: Succession Planning and Development Strategies for Small Credit Unions is a workshop designed to help small credit unions proactively build robust leadership pipelines through practical, scalable strategies. Attendees will learn how to identify mission-critical roles, recognize and develop internal talent, and align leadership development with their organization’s long-term goals.

Through guided discussion, this workshop will also explore how self-aware leadership can influence team growth, employee engagement, and talent retention. Leaders will leave with a clearer picture of their own leadership impact — and with actionable steps to create a culture of continuous development within their teams.

 

What You’ll Take Away

  • Why succession planning is essential for small credit unions
  • How to pinpoint critical positions and high-potential employees
  • Ways to build and support effective employee growth plans
  • Techniques for conducting meaningful development conversations
  • A framework for leadership reflection and personal growth

Plus, GoWest’s Manager of CU Development, Paige Beffort, will guide attendees through interactive group discussions and activities designed to foster learning, peer collaboration, and meaningful networking in a dynamic, open environment.

Whether you’re a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, SCURT will equip you with the tools and insight to lead your credit union into the future with confidence.

Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in your team—and yourself. See you at MAXX!
