Chapter Leaders Brainstorm, Expand their Minds at Chapter Leaders Summit in Lancaster
This week on August 20-21, CrossState Chapter Leaders from across New Jersey and Pennsylvania gathered together in Lancaster, PA, for the annual Chapter Leaders Summit to collaborate and to build on their knowledge of the social, economic, and cultural challenges their members are facing every day.
Chapter Leaders heard presentations from Tobi Weingart, Chief Program Officer for the National Credit Union Foundation and Jen Wintermyer, CEO of Tri County Community Action.
Weingart focused her presentations on recognizing the movement’s history, key figures, and financial health.
