The United in Sustainability (UIS) Network, a community of credit unions, their associations, and partners announced that its ninth Annual United in Sustainability Summit for the credit union industry will take place November 17 and 18 at 320 Park Avenue in Manhattan at United Nations FCU’s (UNFCU) global headquarters in Long Island City, Queens.
This hybrid event, hosted by UNFCU, provides a platform for the industry globally to share best practices, actionable ideas, and new resources on sustainability—having a positive impact in society—whether organizations are just starting or advancing their journeys.
Other topics include the intersection of health and climate resiliency, adaptation and risk management strategies for a changing climate, the culture of inclusion, leading through operational change with social purpose, and unpacking AI and the environment. Experts in community outreach, governance, digital and product innovation, member and staff well-being, and reporting frameworks will lead workshops and share insights and fresh research on impacts, challenges, and opportunities for the industry to further momentum on the credit union difference and bottom-line growth. Young credit union professionals will also lead a discussion on “The Future We Want.”
Founded by UNFCU in 2018, the UIS Network comprises more than 200 members of the credit union industry dedicated to having local impact on a global scale. Its organization was driven by financial cooperatives’ interest in furthering the conversation at the inaugural UIS Summit at UN headquarters.
