"The speakers presented us with valuable information and strategies that I was able to implement upon my return to the credit union. I was also able to get my specific questions addressed by the featured speakers, as well as the great group of fellow business development attendees. I will, for a long time, refer back to the skills and strategies I acquired at this conference, and keep in touch with those that I met at the conference to constantly improve the business development program at my credit union." ~ Brandon Hays, Community Choice Credit Union (2007)

"I came back ready to hit the ground running. The school offered all the tools necessary and an extra dose of confidence." - Pat Darcey, NJ Gateway FCU (2007)

"I gained a clearer understanding of business development's roll in credit union expansion. Most of my colleagues and I sometimes feel that we are isolated islands in the storm and trying to promote something in a somewhat remote way. We all agreed that business development is everyone's job!"

"I learned that business development is not something you see but something that you do. A business development department is vital for growth but the results are not always seen right away. Understanding your community and your membership will allow you to promote that growth and be a great business development person."

"Business Development School was a great experience for me. The ideas and information I brought back was very helpful. Now I am ready to bring in new business."
