NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – CUcorp, the Michigan Credit Union League's service corporation, recently finalized an agreement with The Staver Group, that gives affiliated CUs access to leading-edge executive development services at a reduced rate. The Staver Group is a Florida-based international motivational speaking, publishing and consulting firm. Under the agreement, credit unions can choose from among three key executive development program services: The Leadership & Organizational Development Institute, a professional education program designed for CU executives; Harrison Assessment, an assessment program for identifying potential candidates for high-level positions; and the Values Integration Process, a service that integrates the CU's values and key organizational behaviors with its senior leadership's direction and focus. CUcorp Executive Vice President Drew Egan said having access to the tools from The Staver Group is crucial for CUs because “in today's highly competitive, fast-paced marketplace, and with credit unions under heavy fire from the banking lobby, it's essential that credit unions have well-trained and visionary executive leadership.”
