Finding Your Perfect Mentors
Since joining the Credit Union system in 2005 I have had the opportunity to meet and build relationships with many people who have had a positive influence on my career as well as life.

Got a great idea but your Manager said “No”!
Young leaders often have creative ideas and lots of energy! They want to see their ideas come to life; however get frustrated when Management says no due to budget or other resource constraints. So how do you convince them?

The Importance of Leadership
Leadership is something that anyone can display and is certainly not tied to a specific position or title. Through the years I have spent in the system I have worked with leaders at every level. Teammates often play a large role in leading a team; it is certainly a key to success.

Less than one day left to vote
The idea was simple - create an innovative competition that is designed by young leaders for young leaders. That's what the Saskatchewan Young Leaders committee discussed earlier this year. We were determined that this could be the start of something good for our credit union system.

Where do mentors find their mentors?
There are many people that I look up to and have contributed to my success. In some cases the mentor relationship was easy to see and other times it just seems to happen. Someone takes you under their wing and helps you to see more of your potential. I feel that leaders surround themselves with other great people that they know can be counted on to aide their success.

Shape Your Future…
It’s encouraging to see the Sask CU Advance reaching out to engage young leaders among our credit union system in Saskatchewan. (Ah, why not…I’ll call it “The Movement”!) In the thirty plus years that I’ve been involved with credit unions in Saskatchewan, I’ve been driven by my personal beliefs in the value of freedom of choice, and that freedom of choice always comes with responsibility attached.

What a fantastic response to Sask CU Advance! Some fabulous ideas have been shared!
Read (and watch) them…and vote. It’s hard to pick one, but don’t let that deter you. This is a great opportunity to recognize some of our best and brightest.

It’s time to vote!
Twenty young leaders stepped forward and submitted their ideas on how we could build a better system for members and/or employees.
Now
it’s your turn to have your voice heard and engage through voting!
