Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! On behalf of World Council of Credit Unions and in co-operation with Credit Union Central of Canada, we are pleased to welcome you to the 2013 World Credit Union Conference in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa. We have experienced many changes in our industry over the past few years, and now is an ideal time to reflect on our progress and think strategically about the future of the global credit union movement. On Saturday, credit union leaders from across Latin America met for the Latin American Congress. There they discussed key issues specifically facing the region, including technology, lobbying techniques and transaction networks. Over the next four days, we will tackle some of our most challenging issues and pressing concerns, including leadership development, payment systems, mobile technology, social media and global advocacy. To do this, we have brought together some of the world’s top thought leaders from both inside and outside the industry to help identify programs and strategies for use at your own credit union. Throughout the conference, we encourage you to take advantage of the powerful professional networks available to you by introducing yourself to industry peers and experts who are challenging “business as usual” every day. Your presence at this year’s conference speaks to your commitment to credit union growth and development worldwide. Thank you for your important role in building a global community. In solidarity,

Building A Global Community Brian Branch, President & CEO, World Council of Credit Unions, USA In his state-of-the-movement address Brian Branch reviews the continuing resonance of credit union values and mission in the ever-changing global market. We operate locally but our markets have globalized. Our global community grows and deepens as increasing numbers of consumers worldwide turn to the values offered by credit unions. Increased international regulatory pressures prompts advocacy for the credit union community at a global level. New technology offers members greater access and credit unions the means of deepening their relationships with members. Credit unions face an exciting period of opportunities and challenges in an increasingly dynamic global market. The Future of Money – Where Mobile Technology is Taking Us Ian Shelley, Mobile Technology Expert, Canada No one can deny the impact that mobile technology already has had on both our personal and professional lives. In fact, mobile technology easily is one of the largest drivers blurring the distinction between these two aspects of our lives. As information-intensive business, financial services have always been at the forefront of technology application. However, mobile technology’s rate of innovation and the range of potential applications have created great uncertainty among financial institutions when it comes to which opportunities to pursue aggressively. In this environment it is clear that mobile technology will substantially change payments and commerce. How can credit unions successfully navigate decisions on mobile technology and what factors should influence their decision making? The session will explore the trends in mobile commerce, particularly payments, and offer perspectives on opportunities and risks credit unions face as they formulate their mobile strategy.

Rethinking Leadership In The Social Era Charlene Li, Author, Groundswell and Open Leadership, USA Bruce Foulke (Moderator), Director, World Council of Credit Unions, USA New social technologies are popping up every day to allow us to connect and communicate in new ways. At the core, sites like Facebook are transforming the nature of relationships -- and with that, what it means to be a leader. That’s because leadership has long been built on the concept of control -- of people, organizations, and strategies. These new relationships disrupt the idea of control and demand a new practice of openness and transparency. The question: How do you give up control but still be in command? It requires “Open Leadership”, a new approach that today’s leaders must adopt to be effective. We’ll look at examples of Open Leadership and recommend ways you can prepare today to be a better leader. Note: Separate registration fee required. Visit the Registration & Information Center for more details.

Sylvester Kadzola (MC), Director, World Council of Credit Unions, Malawi World Council of Credit Unions Board of Directors Installation Creating Your Social Business Strategy: It’s All About Relationships Charlene Li, Author, Groundswell and Open Leadership, USA

Sponsored by

Facebook. Blogs. Twitter. Many credit unions and financial institutions have dabbled in these and other social technologies. But almost all of these efforts are one-off technology deployments, instead of being part of a master plan on how to engage members and employees on a strategic level. We’ll look at the journey that organizations take as they evolve their social business and the key success factors of a coherent strategy. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with an understanding of how to align your social efforts with the most important aspect of business today – relationships that are the underpinning of business value.

Why are some organizations more innovative, more influential and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful ones, why are so few organizations able to repeat their success over and over? Any organization can explain what it does; some can even explain how they do it; but very few can clearly articulate WHY they do it. Starting with WHY works with big and small businesses alike, in the non-profit world as well as in politics. Those who start with WHY and have a clear vision as to why they are doing what they do, inspire others. The people who follow them don’t do so because they have to, they do so because they want to. Drawing on a wide range of real-life stories, author Simon Sinek weaves together a clear vision of what it truly takes to articulate your WHY and how to use that as a starting point to inspire others and achieve success.

In addition to supplying excellent service, credit unions have a primary responsibility for maintaining fiscal safety and their members’ financial well-being in the face of fraud. Both staff and volunteers are accountable for taking preventive action to detect and prevent fraud. This session provides participants with strategies, techniques and tools to better understand current threats and to be proactive in protecting credit union member assets.

John Julian, Director, International Communications & Policy, Canadian Co-operative Association, Canada Sylvester Kadzola, Director, World Council of Credit Unions, Malawi Michael Koisen, Chairman of the Board & President, Papua New Guinea Federation of Savings and Loan Societies Ltd., Papua New Guinea Peter Mason, Chief Executive Officer, Credit Union Foundation Australia, Australia

Learner Outcomes • Understand credit union responsibilities in terms of fiscal management and fraud prevention. • Learn to detect signs of financial statement fraud, recognize other areas of heightened financial risk and gain access to the tools necessary to take action. • Define strategies for developing effective training to improve credit union security measures.

Steven Stapp (Moderator), President & CEO, San Francisco Federal Credit Union, USA Global credit union development takes place at a grassroots level most people rarely see. Meaningful involvement by credit union staff and volunteers in countries that help put credit union principles into action may be the best way to support global growth and renew the cooperative spirit. This session will help participants examine the ways in which credit unions have helped their members, define what type of involvement is and isn’t helpful and explain why credit union principles continue to be a vital component of international development.

[M02] A Dialogue with Leaders in Mobile Wallets T Avinash Chidambaram, Director, Mobile Programs, Interac Association and Acxsys Corporation, Canada

Jason Davies, Vice President eCommerce, MasterCard Canada, Canada Jacqueline Chilton(Moderator), Partner, Glenbrook Partners, USA Mobile and digital wallets are currently at the heart of transactional innovation. They respond to consumers’ demand for immediate convenience for person-to-person and person-to-business transfers. These wallets lie at the intersection of payments, commerce and financial services. How do they work? Who are the lead players? What does the future look like for these industry leaders? How will that future be influenced by the response and actions of merchants? Decide for yourself whether these are strategic partners or competition or both. What strategies can credit unions pursue to take advantage of opportunities, and how can they recognize developments that challenge their current business models? The answer involves integration, innovation and strategic approaches still very new to credit unions, and those who get on board early have the best chance to serve an evolving membership base from the head of the pack.

Learner Outcomes • Learn about new mobile and digital wallets and discover how they can be integrated to traditional credit union services.

[M04] FATCA: Perspectives for Credit Unions James Jatras, Managing Director, Global Strategic Communications Group, USA Gary Rogers, Vice President, Financial Policy, Credit Union Central of Canada, Canada Michael Edwards (Moderator), Chief Counsel and Vice President, World Council of Credit Unions, USA The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), administered by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is designed to find U.S. taxpayers hiding assets outside the U.S. It has not yet achieved widespread global support though some provisions of the IRS issued


FATCA regulation for financial institutions throughout the world have taken effect this year. FATCA will also apply to U.S. credit unions under the IRS regulation’s “withholding agent” provisions. Through intergovernmental agreements with the U.S. Treasury, some countries are creating their own local FATCA rules.

Learner Outcomes • Understand why the U.S. Congress passed FATCA, as well as key details about the IRS’s FATCA regulation and FATCA intergovernmental agreements. • Learn how most non-U.S. credit unions can qualify for exempt or partially exempt FATCA status. • Receive an update on the progress of FATCA’s intergovernmental agreements and whether FATCA can be defeated by its opponents.

[M05] Challenging the Barriers to Credit Union Growth I

Frank Corcoran, Chief Executive, No1 CopperPot Credit Union, Great Britain Michael Leonard, President & Chief Executive Officer, Atlantic Central and League Savings and Mortgage, Canada

According to the United Nations, the global annual value of money laundering is estimated at between US$800 billion and US$2 trillion, leaving financial institutions, including credit unions, at significant risk. Canadian regulation requires risk assessments and independent reviews as part of credit union anti-money laundering (AML) programs, but complying with these requirements can be challenging. This session will offer practical solutions for credit unions faced with implementation of AML risk assessments and compliance with independent review requirements.

Learner Outcomes • Understand the challenges of implementing an risk-based approach to AML. • Learn how to meet the requirements of independent AML reviews. • Develop your own strategy for managing the threat money laundering poses to your credit union.

No business, including credit unions, can succeed without a growth plan in place. Credit unions that fail to grow in their ability to serve members will no longer be able to successfully compete, and those that can’t compete will not be in business for very long. Understanding how credit unions can maximize growth potential, overcome the obstacles to service, leverage their inherent advantages and develop strategies for success can help participants in this session better manage the growth and development of their own credit unions. That will be the best way to continue successfully serving members.

Leading a credit union demands the ability to handle the toughest challenges, both from management and governance perspectives. Management decisions are frequently scrutinized to determine whether they will operate in the best interest of credit union members, and these decisions must be supported by credit union directors, who are themselves members. Conversely, providing ‘more’ to members may appear to compete with a mandate to increase operational efficiencies or being more profitable. In the face of this dichotomy, the right decision is often not evident or easy to make. This session will explore the two sides of some of the toughest decisions credit unions face with two of the Canadian credit union movement’s most innovative and influential CEOs.

Learner Outcomes

Learner Outcomes

• Learn new ways to maximize credit union growth and development. • Define strategies for your credit union based on the stages experienced by other institutions to overcome potential obstacles to growth. • Understand the best strategies and tools at your disposal to help your credit union succeed.

• Understand the decision-making process used in some of Canada’s leading credit unions. • Learn to adjust credit union priorities to benefit both the member and the institution. • Create your own decision matrix to help you make tough decisions on your credit union’s behalf.

In the changing financial services environment, credit union directors are facing greater regulatory pressure that, in turn, has increased their fiduciary responsibilities. Directors now face new requirements and responsibilities, including an appropriate educational background and financial skills to operate more successfully on the credit union’s behalf. This session highlights emerging patterns in various credit union movements around the world and offers insight into the types of reporting indicators that credit unions must provide directors so they can meet these new requirements.

Africa’s credit unions, also known as savings and credit cooperative societies, or SACCOs, have captured the attention of national government leaders who see the value of cooperative financial institutions, and consequently have passed new laws that regulate their savings and loan activities. The great challenge for some SACCOs is now how to comply with those new regulations. A strong regulatory environment, while critical for creating and sustaining an effective SACCO movement, requires much more from its institutions in order to maintain safe and sound operations. Understanding the difference between the former and current environments and the costs and challenges associated with meeting more rigorous compliance standards will provide valuable lessons for credit unions everywhere as financial products and services become more sophisticated and require greater regulatory oversight.

Learner Outcomes • Understand the new requirements resulting from legislative changes and directors’ heightened fiscal responsibility in various credit union movements. • Explore how these changes will impact future credit union governance and operations. • Create a strategy for your credit union to help directors understand and comply with new requirements.

T

[M08] Facing Regulatory Changes for Africa’s Credit Unions

Learner Outcomes • Learn about new legislative environments and proposed prudential standards for SACCOs in Kenya, Tanzania and other countries designed to improve their services and spread their influence. • Understand the significant changes required of the SACCOs and the necessary steps to meet the requirements of a more stringent environment. • Look for similarities and differences between African SACCOs and your credit union with an eye toward preparing for new legislative initiatives that will require a change in your strategies for future growth and increased market share.

Each credit union system’s political economy – the relationship between politics and economics – has its own unique blend of common bond, taxation, capital adequacy, safety and soundness, and other rules that shape how credit unions are enabled or impeded from providing their members with access to low-cost financial services.

Brian Bevilacqua, Communications Manager, First West Credit Union, Canada Benjamin Janzen, Stewardship in Action Advisor, Mennonite Savings and Credit Union, Canada Cheryl McCormack, Branch Manager, Bayview Credit Union, Canada

Government support for credit unions, or the lack thereof, as well as lobbying by banks and other competitors play a unique and potentially enabling or devastating role in terms of credit unions’ ability to serve their members. Politics, regulatory policy and credit union operations all play a role in determining whether your credit union is able to prosper and serve its members.

Devin Selte, Corporate Trainer, Leadership Development and Change Leadership, Servus Credit Union, Canada David MacLean (Moderator), Director, Credit Union Central of Canada, Canada Credit union leaders worldwide are facing challenges and opportunities every day. Leadership to overcome challenges and seize opportunities requires vision, which engages the spirit; learning, which stimulates the mind; and, action, which compels energy. Join this session to learn how five young Canadian credit union leaders have strengthened their credit unions and the overall movement through community engagement, credit union collaboration, and developing an effective organizational culture.

Credit union systems that do not advocate successfully for an appropriate regulatory environment will find themselves facing regulatory hurdles.

Learner Outcomes • Learn how veteran credit union advocates have convinced policymakers to help improve their systems’ regulatory environments. • Understand how competitors can influence the political process to fit credit unions to a uniform and restrictive regulatory profile, and how to survive such attacks. • Acquire the knowledge needed to help your credit union persevere against laws either too restrictive or so loose that they allow unsafe and unsound operations.

[M10] The Evolution of Payments Jacqueline Chilton, Partner, Glenbrook Partners, USA Brian McCrory (Moderator), Director, World Council of Credit Unions, Ireland Innovation in payments is proceeding rapidly, including new strategies from third-party payment services operating outside traditional financial institutions. Many transactions now take place online with merchants. Credit unions formerly funded such transactions, but now consumers have many options, and they are sensitive to how many steps are required to make payments. Will these payment innovations partners provide strategic leverage to credit unions or are they merely new competition? One thing is certain: the variety of technology and business enablers making this possible are dramatically changing the costs and risks of new product and service development. This session sheds new light on payment systems changes and what credit unions can do to maximize the opportunities while minimizing competitive risk.

Learner Outcomes • Review the various payment strategies at work in the global financial sector. • Understand the objectives behind payment technology and the strategies by which they are deployed. • Assess your credit unions’ payment delivery needs with innovative new strategies and determine the necessary steps to become part of this new, exciting solution.

Few aspects of financial services are evolving as quickly, and fewer still are as important to the development of effective member service. Credit unions see new competition entering financial services through commerce and payment systems, while consumers demand more ease in accessing all of them instantly. How should credit unions position themselves in this evolving business environment to compete effectively and to offer services both convenient for members and profitable for credit unions?

As children of the digital age, Gen Y has a preference for technology, as well as a strong social consciousness and sense of community – a perfectly matched mindset with credit union mission and values. Credit unions that do connect can expect fierce loyalty and maximum involvement from this new and exciting generation of members.

Learner Outcomes • Gain greater understanding of the Gen Y profile and how credit union values match those of this important market segment. • Develop strategies, including those focused around social media, to effectively reach Gen Y. • Hear real-life success stories from Brazil, Canada and the United States.

[TL1] Lunch & Learn: Capitalizing on Growth – Finding the Right Balance Between Growth, Capital, Operating Efficiency and Competitive Pricing

Financial inclusion remains an economic building block for developed and developing societies. Definitive steps are being taken through the Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI) and its member organizations, however, more work needs to be done to ensure that everyone has access to basic financial services.

José Gallant, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Alterna Savings, Canada

Some of those steps involve limiting regulatory burdens and broadening identification strategies for consumers heretofore unable to receive services. Credit unions sit at the cusp of a new era, with increasing opportunities to serve more members effectively, while expanding their member bases to include new, previously underserved groups. Regulatory environments must be developed to foster future growth in these areas.

• Learn about efforts at a global level to improve financial access for people worldwide. • Understand regulatory changes developed through the efforts of the Financial Action Task Force and other groups to help financial institutions reach this goal.

Ian Glassford, CFO, Servus Credit Union, Canada Loraine McIntosh, Partner, Credit Union Sector Leader, Deloitte LLP, Canada

A credit union thrives because of its members, and its capacity to attract, retain and deepen relationships with those members is fundamental to its viability and longterm growth. However, funding long-term growth can be difficult in today’s environment. Current low interest rates, coupled with aggressive competition from both traditional and non-traditional providers, is putting significant pressure on financial margins, driving credit unions to seek alternative income sources while at the same time improving overall operating efficiency. Increasing regulatory capital requirements are making this challenge that much more important. But is all new business good, and how well


can your current capital base support new growth? These and other questions need to be answered, and trade-offs assessed before a credit union can execute its growth plan. This session tackles the issues that are key challenges to credit unions’ future.

Learner Outcomes

• Gain an understanding of what business operations are prime for outsourcing. • Review key factors to look for when making the decision to outsource. L

Tamara Vrooman, CEO, Vancity, Canada

• Build a deeper understanding of the interplay between decisions relating to growth, pricing, capital and operations. • Gain perspective on what other credit unions are doing to find the right balance. • Develop a list of questions to ask your management team and board in developing your strategy for the future.

Damien Walsh, Managing Director, bankmecu, Australia Lucy Ito (Moderator), Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, California & Nevada Credit Union Leagues, USA In the wake of the global financial crisis and revelations of financial consumer abuse, consumers expect financial institutions to offer a new form of financial leadership that embraces both social and economic responsibility. A select group of institutions have taken a values-based approach to financial services that stresses commitment to people, the planet and prosperity for all. Institutions that comply with sustainable banking principles, such as community commitment, long-term member relationships, transparent governance and self-sustaining resiliency, have a better chance to both change the lives of their members and have a meaningful impact on society’s future. Meet representatives of values-based institutions and learn first-hand how the approach has increased their success.

[TL2] Lunch & Learn: Embracing EMV Chip Technology: Is Your Credit Union Ready to Make the Leap? Mike Kelly, President & CEO, PSCU Financial Services, USA Anne Cochran (Moderator), 2nd Vice Chair, World Council of Credit Unions, USA Plastic card technology continues to evolve and one of the latest steps involves EMV technology. EMV, which stands for Europay, Mastercard Visa, is a European security standard for contact and contactless payment methodologies that may become the new gold standard in card processing and security. But is it time for credit unions everywhere to make the switch to the EMV protocol? What is required now and how will it change card processing in the near future? Those questions and others promise a lively, informative session.

Learner Outcomes • Understand the concepts behind values-based financial services and how they apply to credit unions. • Measure and compare the values-based capacity of your credit union. • Examine credit unions’ evolving role as values-based financial institutions.

Learner Outcomes • Learn the background and application of EMV card technology and note the similarities and differences to other card chip technology. • Understand reasons to make the switch and steps credit unions must take to offer members EMV chip cards. • Map out a strategy for adapting EMV technology to your credit union.

[TL3] Lunch & Learn: Outsourcing Your IT Functions– Is It Right for Your Credit Union? Kim Robinson, Vice President Outsource Services, Celero, Canada Murray Williams (Moderator), Chief Operating Officer, Iowa Credit Union League, USA Recent research suggests that two-thirds of companies outsource at least a portion of their information technology infrastructure. To save costs and increase efficiencies, IT activities such as email, Web hosting, network and service desk management are maintained by a third-party provider, minimizing internal headaches and maximizing an organization’s ability to focus on its core business. While this is a growing trend, there’s nothing cut-and-dried about IT infrastructure outsourcing. Join representatives from Celero for a look at the pros and cons of outsourcing and learn some of the key factors to review in making this critical decision.

Learner Outcomes • Understand the key benefits of outsourcing, the various models available and what to look for in sourcing a vendor.

But the interaction has evolved from customer service, promotion and brand protection into emerging forms of e-commerce for a growing number of credit unions. If social media is the upand-coming consumer’s communications lifeline then credit unions that employ the social media’s capabilities will be first to market. Those able to master the media’s commercial capabilities become their members’ primary financial institution with the press of a touchscreen. This session sheds new light on the future of that process.

Learner Outcomes • Be reintroduced to social media as a commercially viable avenue and see how its capabilities apply to credit unions. • Examine case studies of credit unions capitalizing on social media’s bottom-line capabilities. • Develop and understand new strategies for using social media to serve existing and new members with an increasing 33 number of services.

[T10] What Credit Unions Can Learn from I Consumer Trends

Susan Thompson (Moderator), Chief Operating Officer, Jamaica Co-operative Credit Union League Ltd., Jamaica

Dominic Dunn, Head of Business Services, Abacus Australian Mutuals Ltd., Australia

Credit unions today are challenged at many levels and from numerous directions, not the least of which is cyberspace. Hackers have become professional cyber-criminals, but there are strategies to keep your credit union well protected and operating safely in your members’ best interests.

Mandy Johnston, Head of Communications, Irish League of Credit Unions, Ireland John Davin (Moderator), CEO, RTE Credit Union, Ireland Consumer trends guide financial institution decisions, and there has been a seismic change since the financial recession began in 2008. Consumers reduced spending and increased savings, thus changing their borrowing patterns and reducing their debt. The evolution of these trends is impacting credit union operations. What do those trends imply for credit unions’ bottom lines? What do they say about the services credit unions can provide members to help restore personal financial security?

Knowledge is key, and so is a good security strategy to protect your institution from online threats. Knowing what you’re up against and planning accordingly is your best defense in an increasingly challenging environment.

Learner Outcomes • Understand the online threats and challenges that face credit unions and other financial institutions around the world. • Develop the necessary resources to keep member data and credit union assets from falling into the wrong hands. • Learn what technology and strategies are available to maintain safe and sound operations.

Credit union systems in Australia, Canada and Ireland have gone to great lengths to measure consumer preferences, needs and desires. Some of the responses to their research are countryspecific, but many are more universal and overlap into each country’s research. Finding the commonalities may help you better understand your own market.

[T09] Understanding Regulatory Capital Needs: A Basel III and Beyond

• Understand the nature of consumers and examine financial service preference trends in various countries. • Look for commonalities among countries and universal consumer preference that crossover among countries. • Apply the results of the survey to your credit union and find out where you can adjust your services to meet changing member expectations.

Karl F. Cordewener, Deputy Secretary General, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Switzerland Andy Poprawa, President & CEO, Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario, Canada Dave Taylor, CEO, State Government Employees Credit Union, Australia Rob Nicholls (Moderator), Director and Chair, Audit and Risk Committee, New Zealand Association of Credit Unions, New Zealand The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has become the global arbiter of financial issues, and its recommendations have been adapted as laws governing financial systems in a growing number of countries. But the Basel Committee’s recommendations, aimed at the world’s largest banks, are increasingly being applied to credit unions especially regarding regulatory capital. For credit unions in Basel-influenced systems – including Australia, Brazil, Canada and some Latin American countries – questions remain about what Basel III will mean in practice.

Gail Stepanik-Keber, Chief Brand & Corporate Social Responsibility Officer, Servus Credit Union, Canada

The power of an open and honest dialogue with government policymakers is taken for granted by credit unions in some countries, but remains only a dream for others. Clearly, lawmakers and regulators who operate in concert with credit union goals and objectives can contribute significantly to a movement’s success. Advocacy efforts at the “grassroots” of the credit union movement – initiatives that include directors, executives, volunteers, and members – often make the difference between success and failure.

Paul Gentile (Moderator), EVP Strategic Communications & Engagement, Credit Union National Association, USA Credit union marketing’s effectiveness is measured by the number of current and potential members the marketing message touches and whether the desired results are achieved. Today, no methodology is as effective as social media in all its variations, but knowing how to best use it to reach the various member groups and gain credit union participation is tough. This session focuses on understanding the basics of marketing through social media as well as defining strategies that enable credit unions to extend their reach and market their messages more successfully.

Successful grassroots advocacy efforts have a profound impact on the strength, stability and growth of any credit union system because, in a democracy, your members’ votes help get politicians elected. This session offers lessons in advocacy to benefit seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers.

Learner Outcomes • Grasp the importance of effective grassroots advocacy techniques on behalf of credit unions and their members, such as “Hike the Hill.” • Gain insights and understanding of grassroots advocacy strategies that can provide you with the maximum impact whether you are speaking to lawmakers or regulatory agency representatives. • Study successful advocacy efforts of credit union systems in various countries and learn how their techniques can be adapted to your efforts.

Learner Outcomes • Understand the basic purpose and uses of different types of social media. • Gain insight into effective messaging through social media, as well as what will not work in the new interactive landscape. • Begin to develop your credit union’s social media strategy with an eye toward greater member participation in your institution and interest in your products and services.

Manfred Dasenbock (Moderator), Director, World Council of Credit Unions, Brazil

Sharon Angus-Crawshaw (Moderator), ABCUL President and Director for Wales, Great Britain

Exceptional business growth does not happen without an exceptional financial strategy, yet defining the components of that strategy and its real-world application too often eludes even the most savvy business planner. This session highlights specifics for achieving outstanding credit union strategic financial success and application, redefining your business strategy, using marketing to its fullest potential, and attracting and keeping the next generation of members.

Credit unions have always been passionate about service, and the latest of those services involves wealth management strategies for members. As credit union members age, they find themselves with assets that need management at levels more profitable than savings accounts or IRAs. For-profit credit union service organizations (CUSOs) and credit unions trained and experienced in providing wealth management services provide a new and much-needed resource for members. At the same time, they increase their service portfolios in positive and profitable ways.

Learner Outcomes

•U nderstand the components that lead to strategic financial success. • S tudy cause-and-effect relationships between specific strategies and their application. • L earn to think strategically and turn plans into action steps.

Learner Outcomes • Learn from credit unions that already offer wealth management services. • Understand the scope and reach of such services and how they fit within the overall credit union service profile. • Develop strategies for your credit union to begin offering wealth management services.
