BOULDER CITY, Nev./PALM COAST Fla.–In response to feedback and requests from credit unions, the cost to register for the excellent new series of “AI Imperative” webinars will now include all members of the management team at individual credit unions and, separately, all members of the board.
The webinars are being sponsored and produced by the CU Daily and Mitchell Stankovic.
The $499 cost of the seven-part series—which will conclude with a live discussion in late September—had previously been per individual, but input from throughout the credit union community led to the expanded opportunity.
“ This is not just another AI conversation, it’s gives strategic perspective on issues and opportunities appropriate for board members,” said Susan Mitchell, president and CEO of Mitchell Stankovic. ‘Thanks for the feedback from our clients, we made this change to allow sharing and additional access.”
First Three Episodes Released
The first three episodes in the webinar series have now been released.
The “AI Imperative” series, from Mitchell Stankovic & Associates and the CU Daily, is aimed at addressing a critical piece of every credit union’s future–and present. Each of the webinars is approximately 30 minutes long and touch on all aspects of artificial intelligence and credit union operations. The objective of the initiative is to help leaders elevate their thinking, strengthen readiness, and learn directly from subject‑matter experts and credit unions already implementing AI.
The newly released webinars, which are hosted by the CU Daily’s Frank J. Diekmann, include:
- “The AI Imperative: Understanding the New Operating Environments,” and offers “a high-altitude view of the shift underway, and how early adopters are redefining member experience and organizational capability.” The webinar features Michai Mathieu Morin, CEO of the Coeus Institute; Tyler Valentine, Ceo of StagePoint FCU, and Susan Mitchell, of Mithell Stankovic.

The New Pricing
As noted, registration for the full AI Imperative Series is $499 per credit union management team and per credit union board, providing leaders with a complete arc of understanding—from foundational concepts to practical application to governance maturity.
