In two-plus years as CUNA’s vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Samira Salem has learned how valuable the spirit of cooperation is among credit unions.
In this interview with CUNA Senior Editor Ron Jooss, Salem shares the progress credit unions have made in their DEI journeys—and how gratifying it is to dig deep into the heart of the credit union philosophy.
Salem describes how the principles of DEI are a natural extension of credit union values. Credit unions are advancing the movement by sharing their DEI experiences with each other, collaboratively learning lessons, and revealing new talents.
Credit Union Rock Stars are outstanding credit union professionals and directors from a wide range of disciplines who inspire and innovate to advance the missions of their credit unions. The 25 members of the 11th class of Rock Stars were selected for their exceptional creativity, innovation, and passion.
