March 7, 2022

Congratulations to the 15 participants and three mentors who were selected for the 2022 Iowa Innovation Group (IIG)! During the Immersion process in February the teams worked together to review empathy maps and focused on seeing through the eyes of the member. 

ICUL has partnered with Filene Research Institute since 2013 to offer IIG, coaching emerging credit union leaders through Filene's "Method of Innovation" over seven-months. IIG aims to develop future leaders of our credit union industry - equipping them with the abilities to evaluate industry insights, create innovative solutions and engage in a pioneering mindset. Click here to learn more about this leadership development opportunity.
