Carmen Vigil, CUDE, SVP, Credit Union Engagement & Development for GoWest Credit Union Association, and Sharee Adkins, EVP & Chief Impact Officer for GoWest Credit Union Association joined us in the Studio Lounge to discuss the association's small credit union accelerator program to power growth and resilience with this group.

According to Carmen and Sharee, the Small Credit Union Accelerator Program is a tailor-made approach to supporting GoWest credit unions with assets of $250 million or under. The program builds on resources that are already helping credit unions succeed by incorporating their input and opening the association's programs up for continued guidance.

In addition, Sharee and Carmen talked about GoWest's VisionBoard Experience -- a dynamic new national event built to help credit union boards lead with clarity, align with confidence, and spark innovation. This event has been co-designed with directors and CEOs to deliver practical strategies, hands-on tools, and fresh perspectives to elevate credit union governance and drive lasting impact.
