In June, GoWest's Leadership Institute held its second in-person coaching and mentoring sessions in Colorado, Arizona, and Washington – bringing together cohorts from across the region to discuss topics including Coaching vs Mentoring, maintaining excellent team performance, the stages of team development, and more! It was great to have everyone together in person for two days of fun and learning! The Leadership Institute is an interactive – virtual and in-person – leadership development program for those looking to improve their perception of leadership and increase their relationship management skills with the goal of assuming greater roles and responsibilities in the credit union industry. #creditunionleadership #gowestcreditunionassociation #creditunionmovement

GoWest Credit Union Association, the GoWest Foundation, and Tucson-area credit unions were proud to be part of this conversation co-hosted by Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and U.S. Congressman Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06) to discuss affordable housing solutions for Arizona. This issue is critically important, and we greatly appreciate the FHLB team and Rep. Ciscomani’s leadership and pragmatic approach to finding solutions that will help Arizona families. Arizona credit unions are working with key leaders and stakeholders to help make housing more affordable through several individualized programs (keep an eye out for something big launching soon!), and we look forward to continuing to work with the many stakeholders who are focused on finding real solutions to this mounting issue. We look forward to convening additional conversations and finding ways to help credit union members and our communities.
