ALTOONA, Penn.–The March edition of the Credit Union Board Brief has been sent to all of its board member subscribers.
Each month The Board Brief highlights a curated list of approximately one-dozen big picture news items, trends and developments that board members should be aware of.
The CU Board Brief has been designed to meet directors’ educational requirements by informing them of big picture issues taking place in credit unions and financial services and to provide potential discussion points in the board room, while not overwhelming readers with too much information.
“The CU Board Brief has been carefully tailored to members of board with an overview of broad issues they should be aware of, without getting into specific issues that are the purview of management,” said Frank J. Diekmann, Cooperator-in-Chief with the CU Daily. “Feedback from board members and CU leaders has been terrific for this easy-to-digest report. We are happy to be able to play such a role in keeping board members educated.”
The March Board Brief includes updates on developments at NCUA, what’s happening in payments trends, how younger generations are evolving in terms of what they want from financial services providers, programs at CUs to help members retire debt, and more, along with a challenge to board from Rochdale that asks whether board are built for 2026—or 1996?
Developed in Conjunction With CU Volunteers
The monthly update was developed in conjunction with attendees at Rochdale’s Volunteer Leadership Institute and is based on their feedback.
Credit unions that want to ensure their boards continue to meet educational requirements and to develop the skills needed to oversee ongoing growth should contact Frank J. Diekmann at Frank@TheCUDaily to start a new subscription.
Costs & Information
The cost of the CU Board Brief is just $599 per year, and that’s for the entire board, not per person. Discounts are also available to credit unions that belong to a number of organizations.
