We have quite the crew on the show today to celebrate and announce the launch of CU Pride, an organization that looks to create a network and promote visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals within the credit union industry.

To provide greater insight on CU Pride, here's who joined us:

Element Federal Credit Union CEO Linda Bodie
CU Solutions Group Chief Strategy Officer Brandi Stankovic
Corelation Inc. Conversion Consultant Dan Marquez
Mitchell Stankovic and Associates Director, Communications and Digital Marketing Zach Christensen

Each explained why CU Pride exists:
  • Create a network and promote visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals in the credit union industry.
  • Provide a safe but brave place for communion and discussion.
  • Create a forum for allies and social change agents.
  • Promote inclusivity and consciousness through programs, education, and networking.

We also talked about how the organization started, holding its first meeting at the 2020 Underground Collision in Washington, DC, at CUNA's GAC just a few short months ago.

The group discussed the significance of the organization, where CU Pride fits with the DEI movement, what the organization looks to achieve short- and long-term, and much more.

In addition, CU Pride is hosting its first (virtual) event on Friday, June 19 at 11:00 a.m. (PST) / 2:00 p.m. (EST) to further share what it's all about, as well as benefits, goals, Q&As, roundtables, entrainment, etc. Visit CUPride.org to find out more and register to attend via Zoom.

Check it out and let us know your thoughts.

What a great idea! There are so many financial institute around the country who support pride and participate in annual events, sponsor dinners, fundraisers, health centers and more. Yet there are also many who do not see a benefit in that support. This new group, CU Pride can help in getting the message out that it IS important to so many of us.
