CUNA Community Credit Union Conference

October 15–18, 2007
Uncasville, CT

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Community credit unions have great opportunities for growth, and they provide the best opportunity to bring credit union service to every resident of the country. But "business as usual" will not make it happen. To succeed, your marketing, products, delivery systems, pricing, and service culture must be adapted to fit your community.

Featured sessions include:

Trend/Countertrend: Recognized by Fast Company in their top twenty Creative Mavericks, Robyn Waters will take you into the hearts and minds of today's consumers.
Untapped: Creating Market Value in Underserved Markets: Led by John Weiser, you'll discover how low-income markets can yield rich rewards for your credit union and the people you serve.

18 breakout sessions will cover a range of issues including:

The Art & Science of Branch Placement
Membership Growth Recipe: Business Development & Community Relations
Opening the Door to the Latino Community: What CUs Need to Know
Directors Who Make a Difference
Conversions: The Nationwide Experience & Future Implications

Whether your credit union is considering a change to a community charter or has had one for years, this conference will be a valuable learning experience. As an added highlight, the Community Credit Union of the Year Award will be presented as part of the program.
