Hear from last year’s participants
“I was not afraid to speak and express my opinion. Public speaking can be intimidating but I felt that my opinion would be taken seriously and it was great to feel that support.”
” It was refreshing to be disconnected from the outside world but fully connected with my group of peers.”
“To see someone in upper management talk so openly and be so vulnerable was amazing.”
“My expectations were completely exceeded. I never thought a group of 40 strangers would be able to come together with such passion and innovation in order to better themselves and the Credit Union System.”
