According to Devin Selte, a senior relationship manager at Servus Credit Union, any strategic moves regarding the future of credit unions would be incomplete without plans to invest in the next generation of leaders.

"You have to engage them. For my generation it's about a purpose. They could be in any profession they want, but if credit unions could give young professionals the opportunity to get engaged at some level, even if they are in an entry position, it lets them know they're important and valued as well," said Selte.

"Whether it's creating a young leaders network, mentorship program or even having a simple chat, it shows them that they do matter to the success of the credit union. Do that and you'll have people who'll want to make the credit union successful," he said.
