The Keynote Corral opening session will feature a presentation by Sam Donaldson of ABC News.

We will continue to work together as we face new opportunities and challenges, and this year’s Annual Meeting provides an excellent opportunity to join our efforts.” At the Annual Meeting, credit union professionals and volunteers can discover new products and services to help them better serve their members, as well as attend information-packed educational sessions on such topics as member business services, creating a sales and service culture, acquiring and growing member relationships, check crime, and boardroom and management ethics.
