Featured CUYLM member: Stacy Gill
Through this blog, we are excited to share more about Stacy Gill, CUYLM Executive Committee member, and Manager, Human Resources at Fusion Credit Union. Stacy is a member of our executive team on the Credit Union Young Leaders of Manitoba (CUYLM) committee, and the Manager, Human Resources at Fusion Credit Union. Stacy has a passion for travel, adventure, and the outdoors, and she has an impressive bucket list already underway (ask her about it the next time you see each other!). With the onset of Covid-19, Stacy has embraced a ‘socially distant’ version of the activities she loves, and she continues to seek out fun and adventure wherever possible!
Throughout her career in the credit union system, Stacy has capitalized on opportunities to learn more about the diverse operations of our credit unions. Her credit union experience began as a summer student while attending the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Since then, Stacy has gained skills and knowledge in consumer lending, marketing, human resources, leadership and coaching. Stacy is known to have a goal and growth-oriented mindset, and has completed a double major in Human Resources and Marketing from the Asper School of Business, and she holds the FCUIC designation. Stacy has also recently passed the National Knowledge Exam for her Chartered Professional in Human Resources designation, which is a significant milestone in the career of an HR professional.
As the HR lead for a credit union that employs nearly 200 people, Stacy is a key contributor to the people-oriented projects and initiatives at Fusion. Throughout her leadership journey, Stacy is discovering more about her own personality and style to develop greater levels of emotional intelligence and resiliency to change – both of which are critical leadership skills for major events such as a merge and pandemic! With the knowledge that strategic human resource management plays a key role in creating culture and leading employees, Stacy’s goal has been to handle these opportunities and challenges head-on. Stacy is proud of Fusion’s recognition as one of Manitoba’s Top Employers, and she speaks of this in terms of successfully realizing on HR and organizational strategy.
Stacy is currently the chair of the newly formed Fusion Young Leaders Committee. Establishing a young leader committee within the organization has brought new opportunities for skill development of other young leaders in the organization. The ideas and passion this young group has with a common interest to support the strategic growth of our credit union is phenomenal.
Stacy is an excellent addition to the CUYLM executive committee – her passion for education and opportunity aligns with CUYLM’s, and we’re all working together to shape the future of the credit union system. In addition to her knowledge and background, Stacy has experience leading and contributing to diverse and virtual teams, and she is inspiring the committee as much as she is being inspired.
