CUxEL Protégé & Emerging Leaders

2025 CUxEL Protégé Competition

The CUxEL Protégé Competition is an opportunity for credit unions to recognize the value and potential in rising professionals age 40 and under, reinforce cooperative principles and credit union philosophy, and support CUxEL and the League’s investment in developing leadership.

Join us for the conclusion of the 2024-25 CUxEL Protégé Competition where chapter finalists from North and South Carolina will compete for the chance to be named this year’s winning Protégé. In part one of the finals at LAUNCH, watch live as finalists give their 5-minute presentations on credit union topics they’re passionate about.

Judging results from this portion of the finals will be combined with each finalist’s exam score (taken prior to presentations), and final results will be announced on Thursday, February 13 during LAUNCH.

The winner and two runners-up will receive developmental scholarships sponsored by the League.
