Jayde DelGado, a Branch Manager at Harborstone Credit Union in Lakewood, Washington, has been named the 2023 CUES Emerge winner.
As one of five Finalists, Jayde’s route to the podium began when he was selected into the CUES Emerge program early in 2023. From there, participants completed business cases and worked toward their project idea while a team of judges reviewed their proposals. On October 4, it culminated in Jayde and the four other finalists presenting their projects live during an online pitch show, hosted by Tim McAlpine of Currency Marketing.
Jayde will receive a coaching package from Envision Excellence and he has earned a scholarship to attend CUES Advanced Management Program from Cornell University.
DelGado’s winning business case discussed how credit unions could help their members with Transitional Housing Loans. He’ll be honored as the 2023 CUES Emerging Leader during the CUES Member Appreciation & Awards Event, happening October 19 online. This event is free and open to all CUES members.
