Are you a young professional in search of professional development and networking opportunities with like-minded individuals? If so, you’re in luck!

The Maine Credit Union League is partnering with the Cooperative Credit Union Association (CCUA) to host a Young Professionals Summit in Portsmouth, NH. Young professionals from Maine credit unions will have the opportunity to spend a day of learning and networking with YPs from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Rhode Island.

YPs from both leagues will attend multiple breakout sessions focused on growth, networking, and education.

YPs will have the chance to attend a workshop hosted by Alyson Bullock, a Massachusetts-based therapist that specializes in communication. She will cover assertive communication, diplomatically disagreeing, and managing workplace anxiety––followed by a workshop where YPs can practice applying those concepts.

Summit attendees will also get to hear from Cortney Arnold, the Community Development Director at Filene Research Institute. Cortney will discuss what leadership looks like in a hybrid setting and how to stand out in this environment.

Additionally, other interactive sessions will guide YPs through networking with their peers, such as a roundtable discussion about trending topics with credit union industry leaders. You’ll leave this Summit with knowledge, experiences, connections, and excitement for your future at both your credit union and within the industry.

Wrap up a day of networking, growth, and education with dinner and drinks at a local Portsmouth venue.

The Young Professionals Network (YPN) is an open group for Maine credit union staff and volunteers, ages 21 to 40, that focuses on providing professional development, networking, and educational opportunities, as well as resources to help YPs grow and strengthen the credit union industry.
