WESTconsin Credit Union’s Kyrah Klika Participates in CUNA Management School

Chippewa Falls, WI—WESTconsin Credit Union is pleased to announce Kyrah Klika, Vice President of their Chippewa Falls Office, has completed two years of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Management School. She is on track to graduate from the three-year program in Spring of 2022. The executive education program develops well-rounded credit union leaders, through training from the University of Wisconsin School of Business professors, credit union professionals and industry experts who teach core executive responsibilities, financial operations, and leadership insights.

According to Klika, “CUNA Management School has played a critical role building on my leadership experience in leading others at WESTconsin Credit Union. Focusing on the future, the program this year has positioned me to gain invaluable insight to industry trends and how we can adapt and prepare for our member’s changing needs.” She continues, “the collaboration with other dedicated credit union leaders has made me a better advocate for our members and employees.”

Upon completion of CUNA Management School, attendees earn their Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation. Instituted in 1975, the CCUE designation can only be earned through the Madison CUNA Management School after completion of all three years of the program, including three exams, two projects, and an oral presentation.
