The 2018 Competition


Lynette Cupps, 2018 CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec

Lynette Cupps, VP Organizational Development, with MAX Credit Union in Montgomery, AL was named the 2018 CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec.

Lynette’s project, how to support non-profit organizations by partnering to provide training for their staff and volunteers, was chosen from a group of international applicants, all age 35 or under, whom a team of judges named as Finalists back in August. As one of five Finalists, her blog and video updates over the past few months provided the industry with an insight into the project’s progress, and culminated with a final presentation at CUES CEO/Executive Team Network™.  Lynette emerged the winner after a four-part scoring process that included judging panel results, a measurement of her social media engagement, plus audience and online voting.

Lynette wins a $20,000 educational prize package that includes registration, accommodations and economy airfare to any two of CUES coveted CEO Institutes – one in 2019 and one in 2020 – and two remote coaching sessions from DDJ Myers Ltd., challenge sponsor and Silver CUESolutions provider for their succession planning, executive recruitment and leadership coaching services.
