Mission Driven Leaders – Is there really a difference?

Come and meet one to find out for yourself

We all talk about mission driven organizations. Most leaders work hard to drive the organization’s mission. But what is the difference between driving an organization’s mission and being a mission driven leader? When a leader fiercely believes in his or her organization’s mission, and his or her personal values align with that mission, the leader adds new depth to the concept of mission.

Come and join us for a discussion with one such leader. Vincent Cerasuolo, President of Century Heritage Federal Credit Union ardently believes in the credit union mission. Vin will share with us his passion for his mission. As you listen to Vin, you’ll gain an up-close look at a mission driven leader and you’ll have the opportunity to find out just what distinguishes such a leader. Come prepared to take a five point self assessment to determine how closely aligned your personal mission is with the work that you do. This discussion will prove interesting regardless of the kind of work you do.

About Vincent Cerasuolo

In his 28-year career in the credit union movement, Vin Cerasuolo has held a variety of management positions at credit unions in three different states. He formerly served as CEO of Vermont Development (now Opportunities CU), one of the nation’s most progressive community development credit unions. For the last ten years he has served as President & CEO of Century Heritage, a community-chartered credit union in the Mon-Yough area of Allegheny County.

He was a member of the board of directors of the National Association of Community Credit Unions from 2001-2004 and currently serves on the Regulatory Review Committee of the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association. He donates time to the community as Steering Committee Chairman of the Mon Valley Providers Council, Vice-Chairman of the Regional Chamber Alliance, and fundraising co-chair of the Mon-Yough Council of Junior Achievement.

When not at Century Heritage, Vin enjoys renovating his home and participating in his local church in White Oak, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife Cozette raise their ten children.
