YCUP PDX CEO Roundtable Builds Connections and Gives Back

Posted by on November 11, 2026

On. Nov. 3, YCUP PDX‘s signature event, the CEO Roundtable, brought together CEOs from credit unions across the region, offering attendees the chance to meet these leaders, ask questions about their careers, and gain invaluable insights from their stories and experiences.

The 2026 panelists included:

This annual event, hosted at Miller Nash LLP’s Portland office, is designed to deepen understanding of the credit union industry, provide inspiration for young professionals’ career paths, and hear from the minds that drive credit unions across the metro area.

The evening also raised more than $3,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest, a private non-profit social change organization affiliated with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Funded by local investments only, BBBS helps children realize their full potential and build their futures by providing dedicated one-to-one mentors to each child who comes through their door. Their goal is to use the power of life changing mentoring relationships to help youth improve their academic achievement, empower them to make positive life choices, graduate from high school, have higher aspirations, greater confidence, and positive & supportive relationships.
