Your credit union's growth is crucial in 2016. In our webinar, you'll learn secrets to improving your bottom line – from peers who've actually done it! Join the webcast, and you'll leave knowing how to:

• Increase revenue at your credit union by developing a member service culture;
• Determine what technologies to keep or upgrade, and what to eliminate to make room for cutting edge innovation;
• Use member business lending as a service to draw your members in and develop a new revenue stream; and
• Grow strategically through mergers while successfully navigating tricky cultural waters.

Our featured speakers will include:

• Joe Thomas, president/CEO for the $322 million Fairfax County Federal Credit Union, CU Times' 2014 CEO of the Year. Thomas recognized his members' need for small business lending and started a program, increasing his credit union's loan portfolio by more than 50% in two years.
• Kelli Wisner-Frank, CFO for the $703 million Community Choice Credit Union, CU Times' 2015 CFO of the Year. Wisner-Frank was charged with bolstering her credit union's net worth position so it would be poised for growth when the economy recovered, all while leading the implementation of her credit union's rewards program.
• David Cooper, vice president of information systems for the $344 million Charlotte Metro Federal Credit Union, CU Times' 2015 IT Executive of the Year. Cooper worked hard to expand technology and member service that allowed the credit union to grow without breaking the budget.
