Then one (1) winner from each chapter will go on to compete for the title, presenting their oral presentation and completing a proctored exam at the League's conference in January!
PAST PROTÉGÉS
Tommy Lentz | 2018 Protégé
“The CUaware Protégé Competition was a great experience and personal achievement I will always remember. I encourage all young professionals to participate in this competition. I am confident they will learn more about the credit union movement and themselves in the process.”
Paul Narcisse | 2016 Protégé
“It was amazing to be a part of an experience I will treasure for a lifetime. Participating in this helped me realize that public speaking is something I am actually great at and now I will pursue it more as I progress in my career. I am looking forward to going to SRCUS in Georgia and take what I learn there to add value to my credit union and my career."
