CUs Unite Brings FORUM52 Access to Member Credit Union Leaders

CUs Unite Partners with FORUM52 to Expand Executive Learning and Engagement for Member Credit Unions

Partnership gives executive leaders at CUs Unite member credit unions access to FORUM52’s growing network of industry thought leaders, practical insights and peer engagement

Raleigh, NC — September 15, 2026 — CUs Unite has reached an agreement with FORUM52 to provide executive leaders at its member credit unions access to the FORUM52 learning and engagement platform.

Through the partnership, eligible executives from CUs Unite member credit unions will be able to join FORUM52 and take advantage of a growing library of executive-level content, industry perspectives and practical resources designed specifically for credit union leaders.

FORUM52 brings together experienced credit union executives, industry experts and other thought leaders to share ideas, lessons and perspectives across areas including strategy and growth, executive performance, artificial intelligence and emerging technology, credit union operations, leadership, innovation and other issues shaping the future of the credit union movement.

“CUs Unite is continually looking for ways to bring additional value to the credit unions we serve, particularly resources that can help their leaders navigate an increasingly complex environment,” said Scott Prior, President/CEO of both Connection Credit Union and CUs Unite. “FORUM52 gives our member credit unions another way to learn from experienced leaders, explore new ideas and connect with people who understand the opportunities and challenges facing credit unions.”

Unlike traditional executive education built primarily around conferences or one-time events, FORUM52 is designed as an ongoing resource. Members can access short-form videos, articles, interviews, discussions and other content when the information is most relevant to the decisions they are making.

The platform also creates opportunities for executives to engage directly with thought leaders and other members of the credit union community.

“We created FORUM52 because some of the most valuable knowledge in the credit union movement lives in the experience of its leaders,” said Kris Kovacs, Founding Partner of FORUM52. “The challenge is making that experience accessible to more people. By working with organizations like CUs Unite, we can put those ideas, lessons and relationships within reach of executives across an entire network of credit unions.”

Under the agreement, CUs Unite will sponsor access to FORUM52 for executive leaders employed by its member credit unions.

“This is exactly the type of relationship we hoped to build when we created FORUM52,” Kovacs added. “CUs Unite can leverage its collective scale to give leaders across its member credit unions access to a resource that helps each institution independently strengthen its leadership team and prepare for what comes next.”
