Council Forum

Mission statement: The mission of the Council Forum is to promote the cooperation, financial health, and collective effectiveness
of CUNA Councils through advocacy, education, and professional resources.

The CUNA Council Forum is a consortium consisting of two representatives from each of the CUNA Councils. The Forum meets at least once each year in a geographic location convenient to the majority of members attending or for some other good purpose.

The Forum is comprised of the chair of each council plus one other regular designee. The Council chairs comprising the Forum principles elect a Forum chair and vice chair prior to the annual Forum. The chair and vice chair are elected for a two-year term and may be re-elected to another two-year term.
