CUES Celebrates 50 Years: In 2012, the Credit Union Executives Society is celebrating its 50th anniversary. CUES got its start in 1962, when it was known as CUES Managers Society, a department of the Credit Union National Association. Back then, “CUES” stood for Credit Union Executive Services and was a “service for larger credit unions.” Read on for a timeline of significant milestones.
Later this year, Credit Union Management will publish a special supplement to celebrate the anniversary. If your credit union or firm would like to place a congratulations advertisement in the supplement, please contact Karin Sand at karin@cues.org.
If you would like to send your memories of CUES and how it has impacted your career, please email theresa@cues.org.
