"The networking opportunities gave me plenty of ideas for new promotions and various ways to reach target markets (including more effective ways to use the internet to reach the younger generations). Jeff Stephen's session helped me identify ways to overcome our branding struggle and become recognizable among the competition. Thanks for a great week in Seattle!" --Gina Williams, CEO UARK Federal Credit Union (2008)

"It not only brought new ideas and direction for me but it gave me excitement again in my job and sent me back fired up with new ideas and direction! The networking was great and I've benefited tremendously from it! The diversity of CU's from all the different states was a plus!" (2008)

"This program really opened my mind to brand new ideas and ways to market our Credit Union to a broader audience. I came home with a lot of new ideas that has also transformed the thinking of our management team." --Toby Hayes (2008)

"Overall, the three-year program was very helpful to me. It got me thinking more strategically. I would recommend it to all CU marketers."

"This program gave me time to get away and think outside of the box. It really helps to take a moment to review how and why we do the things we do." (2007)

"I benefited by talking with other credit union's, sharing success stories, and learning from failed campaigns that other credit union's attempted." (2007)
