Three CUES Councils were presented with CUES Outstanding Council awards at CEO/Executive Team Network™ in Amelia Island, Fla., this morning. Winners in each category are:

  • 1-275 members—CUES Alabama Council;
  • 275-450 members—CUES Rocky Mountain Council; and
  • 450+ members—CUES Michigan Council.

Each CUES Outstanding Council receives $1,000 to develop future meetings. Judges selected these councils for their ability to present timely and important topics to attendees, communicate effectively with their members, and produce actionable marketing pieces to generate high meeting participation. They also encourage nonmembers to join CUES.

CUES Councils are regional, CUES-member-only learning groups run by volunteer CUES members. All offer networking and career-enhancing resources.
