Women are much more likely to hold the top spot at credit unions than they are at banks, according to “Women in Credit Union Leadership,” a report from CUNA.

Two outstanding credit union CEOs join the CUNA News Podcast to talk about women’s leadership:

  • Leigh Brady, CEO at $50 billion asset State Employees Credit Union in Raleigh, N.C.
  • Linda White, executive director at the Credit Union Women’s Leadership Alliance and a former credit union CEO.

They speak about their journeys to the CEO chair, challenges they faced, what sets female leaders apart, advice they have for women who aspire to take on leadership roles, and more.

You can listen to the CUNA News Podcast in Apple’s iTunes Store, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

6:40: Breaking through the glass ceiling
