Women: A Strategy for Success is a package of financial services to reduce the headaches of bill paying and budgeting, and create a greater sense of financial independence. The idea aims to help women credit union members to simplify their financial lives and to help credit unions serve members and grow membership.

Three years after a full organization rebrand, Canvas Credit Union embarked on a custom research project designed to benchmark well-being over time. We had a chance to sit down with Tansley Stearns, Chief People & Strategy Officer at Canvas, to hear how this quest to understand well-being has helped their efforts to improve the wellness journey of their extended Canvas family.
Editor's note: We did it, we eeked out one last blog post from Tansley before saying "Aloha - out." We think she's a fantastic writer -- enjoy!
When I applied to participate in i3, I was working at BestSource Credit Union in Waterford, MI. I was responsible for all of the frontline teams. I loved the work, but my view of credit unions and the world was narrow. Around that same time, our CEO during my annual review gave me some interesting advice. He said, “Tansley, I know you love credit unions, but consider that there is a big world out there beyond them. You may want to explore that before you are ‘tied’ to credit unions for good.”
My daughter MacKenzie will be seven in October. As our only child, each year has brought unexpected challenges and pleasant surprises. In her sixth year, she’s asked tough questions and started to really demonstrate the person she’s becoming. She is a very social creature and has never met a stranger. She has a huge heart and feels things deeply. She’s passionate about science, math, singing and the beach.
As a credit union advocate, you know just how important it is that credit unions win the war for talent. Developing, growing and nurturing future leaders within our industry is imperative to our long-term success. That is just as true at Filene as it is at natural person credit unions. In that light, I’m excited to share with you that as of July 10, we have a new leader of The Cooperative Trust, Lauren Culp.
