SUPPORTING TOMORROW'S LEADERS
CUWLA Rise: Building the next generation of women leaders
A new membership option for women who report to their credit union’s CEO and are ready to take the next step in their leadership journey.
Because leadership doesn't begin at the top
CUWLA was formed to empower the women who power the movement—but that leadership isn’t always in the corner office.
CUWLA Rise is a membership option for the women who are next in line; the leaders already making big decisions, managing teams, and shaping the future of their credit unions, without the title of CEO.
If you’re on the path to the top role, you don’t have to walk it alone.
How we support our Rise members
Your roadmap to rising is built around CUWLA’s three core pillars:
Education
MONTHLY MEET AND GREETS
Held on the first Wednesday of each month, these are our safe space discussions where members can share and connect openly.
These sessions are not recorded to ensure privacy and candid conversations.
FOCUSED DISCUSSIONS
These discussions delve into niche topics of interest, such as cannabis banking and shared services, allowing members to explore specialized areas in depth.
Coaching
ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING
Quarterly Mentor Hours with seasoned CEOs from the CUWLA CEO membership.
Collaboration
CUWLA RISE NETWORK
Connecting with other members and sharing information is core to our mission. Every CUWLA Rise member can access our supportive, collaborative member-only portal in Basecamp.
The portal is a safe space for open discussion, judgment-free Q&A, and ideas and asset sharing.

Our CUWLA Rise membership portal is hosted on Basecamp. Here, you can find the schedule for all our Zoom meetings, find centralized documents, and other important information. For tips on how to use Basecamp, please refer to the following cheat sheet.
