Today's Economic Climate and the Forecast for Tomorrow

Now What? Looking to the Past for Future Growth

Mike Schenk, CUNA authority on economics and statistics
Do growth opportunities exist with the current market conditions? Can credit unions still be successful given the mortgage meltdown, higher energy costs, and a weaker job climate? How and why have credit unions historically thrived during tough economic times? Learn from past historical successes to focus your efforts, strengthen member loyalty, and grow your credit union.

Garner Results with the Right Strategy

John Lass, CUNA Mutual Group champion on strategy
Does your credit union really have a strategy? Is your strategy truly centered in growth and earnings? Have you made choices about what your credit union is and is not, and what it will and will not do? Is growing with declining market share a win? Vet practical strategies for evaluating products, target markets, and supporting decisions and walk away with a method that works for your credit union.
