Women in leadership

<p>Earlier this year, CUNA released an industry report that found 51% of U.S. credit union CEOs—and 33% of board members—are women.  <br/><br/>The “<a href='https://www.cuna.org/content/dam/cuna/advocacy/cu-economics-and-data/research-papers---reports/WomenInLeadership_IssueBrief.pdf'>Women in Credit Union Leadership</a>” issue brief examines the extent to which women are represented in leadership positions at credit unions compared to commercial banks. <br/><br/>This episode of the <a href='https://news.cuna.org/podcasts'>CUNA News Podcast</a> features a conversation between Mike Schenk, chief economist and deputy chief advocacy officer for CUNA, and Samira Salem, vice president of <a href='https://news.cuna.org/keywords/3620-dei'>diversity, equity, and inclusion</a> for CUNA, from May’s <a href='https://www.cuna.org/content/cuna/cuna-org/advocacy/credit-union---economic-data/economic-data---bank-comparisons/cuna-economic-update.html'>Economic Update</a> video. <br/><br/>A companion episode featuring discussions with three women in credit union leadership is coming soon.</p>
