ST. CHARLES, Mo.–As the number of credit union boards that have signed up for the Credit Union Board Brief continues to grow, the November edition has now been sent to their inboxes.
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.”
