In this episode, we sit down with three inspiring founders of the Credit Union Women’s Leadership Alliance (CUWLA) to explore the origins of this game-changing organization. CUWLA was created to support and uplift female CEOs of small credit unions, providing them with the resources, community, and advocacy they need to thrive.

Our guests, Tammy Passafiume, Lily Newfarmer, and Maria Martinez share the challenges they faced as leaders in the industry, how CUWLA is shaping the future of credit unions, and the advice they wish they could have given their younger selves. Whether you’re a credit union professional, an aspiring leader, or someone passionate about empowering women in credit unions, this conversation is full of insights and inspiration.

Tune in for a powerful discussion on leadership, resilience, and the impact of a strong support network.
