N. CHARLESTON, SC – Corey Pace was named second runner up in the 2014 CUaware Protégé Competition, hosted Friday, September 5, 2014, during the Carolinas Credit Union League Leadership Conference, held in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
Representatives from six regional chapters of credit unions across the Carolinas were selected to compete in the competition. Chapter candidates presented five minute speeches, judged on credit union knowledge, communication skills, personality, and professional appearance. Each candidate completed a standardized exam and chose a presentation topic from a league-approved list that included credit union philosophy, economics, viability, activism, and promotion.
As second runner up, Pace will have her choice of four developmental scholarships:
- Southeast CUNA Management School – One-year registration, valued at more than $1,300 (requires commitment to three-year program)
- NYIB 2015 Annual Conference – Registration and lodging, valued at $1,300
- CCUL Hike the Hill (Washington, DC) – Full participation including airfare and lodging, valued at $1,000
- 2015 Principles & Philosophy Conference Scholarship – Includes tuition ($750), two nights lodging, and meals.
CUaware is a council within the Carolinas Credit Union League created to fill a gap that exists within the credit union industry. It aims to informally introduce all levels of credit union employees to the CU Movement and encourage growth.
