WCMS Alumni Frogcast

Author: WCMSAA

Western CUNA Management School (WCMS) is a 3 year educational/training program created to give credit union leaders a deep dive into the purpose and mission of operating a cooperative business model. The Frogcast was created to continue our unique WCMS education, to deepen our connection to the school, each other, and the credit union industry, and maybe spark a memory or two from our time on campus at Pomona College. In this podcast we interview the faculty and alumni of the school on the challenges and opportunities we face. Come along as we jump into a conversation of head and heart!

Episode 60 - Chad Shane (June 2026)
Friday, 3 July, 2026

For our 60th episode we are joined by Chad Shane, President and CEO of Canvas CU in Colorado. With a strong background in sales and lending, including 8 years at Origence, Chad has taken a unique path to his current role. Relatively new to the CEO seat, he shares his thoughts on the challenges and successes of making the move from CLO and how his indirect lending background has impacted his CU's strategy. Beyond lending, he talks about the progressive investments the credit union has made in AI and people-centered innovation. When not running Canvas, Chad keeps himself healthy as a professional pickle ball player. Listen in to learn what it takes to be competitive on the court and in the financial services industry!Interviewers: Shonna Shearson and Ryan KaneProducers: Steve Schmidle and Ryan KaneSupporting cast: Nate Burns, Jeff Morris, James Wileman, Robert York, and Original Ryan Olsen
