About The Board Brief
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 boardroom while not overwhelming readers with too much information.
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 develop the skills needed to oversee ongoing growth should contact Frank J. Diekmann at [email protected] to start a new subscription.
Costs & Information
The cost of The CU Board Brief is just $799 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.
