Congratulations, 2025

CULC Designation Recipients!

We’re thrilled to announce that another outstanding group of credit union professionals has officially earned their Credit Union Leadership and Coaching (CULC) Designation—and we couldn’t be more inspired by their commitment to growth and excellence.

Jointly awarded by eLeadership Academy and Royal Roads University, this prestigious designation is earned by leaders who have demonstrated advanced leadership and coaching capabilities. It reflects their understanding of leadership theory and their ability to apply it meaningfully in their roles within the credit union system. 

These professionals had previously earned their Certificate in Applied Leadership (CAL), which includes over 100 hours of applied learning in leadership and coaching. The CULC Designation builds on that foundation, taking their development further and focusing on practical integration, personal reflection, and system impact.

Created exclusively for the credit union sector, the CULC Designation is more than a credential—it’s a signal of dedication to leading with purpose, head, heart and backbone. Through this program, participants strengthen their competencies, elevate their influence, and contribute to a thriving credit union system.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate the latest recipients of the CULC Designation:

⭐Candace Wolbaum, Nelson & District
⭐Cindy Fish, YNCU
⭐Connie McMann, Vision
⭐Cori Bezan, Access
⭐Dana Elliott, Kawartha
⭐Delaney Ellis, Assiniboine

⭐Kelly Guerra, Caisse Financial
⭐Kirstin Dias, YNCU
⭐Lendon Green, Sunrise
⭐Lynne Laurendeau-Ross, Caisse Financial
⭐Stacey Fuselli, YNCU

It has been our privilege to walk alongside these leaders in their learning journey. We can’t wait to see how their leadership continues to ripple outwards through their teams, organizations, and the members and communities they serve.

Congratulations to each of you from all of us at eLeadership Academy! 👏
