Henry C. Meier, author of a recent opinion piece for CU Times, "Is It Time to Get Your Head Out of the Clouds?", made some good points, particularly about ensuring your credit union has the right information it needs to make a good decision regarding the cloud.

Given its importance, our credit union leaders must ensure they're well educated on the topic.
