During his session entitled Board Governance: Sucessfully Leading Credit Unions into the Future, he shared that the success of credit unions begins with the leadership and vision of the board. Given the challenges facing boards continue to explode and multiply, he said progressive boards are required to display a broad range of competence and engagement.
Rogers helped attendees sort through the good and the bad, sharing everything from best practices and board recruitment habits to tracking the relationship between credit union governance and performance. Attendees were also challenged to explore how boards can add more value.
