DENVER - It might sound far-fetched, but now is the time for credit unions to consider shifting a percentage of loan funds into members with "impaired credit" as long as financial guarantees are in place. The result can be an improvement in ROA. That is the advice of Centrix Financial...
RAPID CITY, S.D. - Being consistent as well as persistent in product advertising all year round has been a major factor in helping boost loan growth-up 14% from a year ago-for the $353 million Black Hills Federal Credit Union here, according to the CU's president, Roger Heacock. The boost in...
OKLAHOMA CITY - When it comes to charity and fund raising, Oklahoma credit unions are at the top of the corporate ladder - at least in the view of Gov. Frank Keating. His office has designated CUs in metro Oklahoma City and Tulsa as "Corporate Volunteer of the Year" for...

DENVER - For James D. Holt, the former Wichita lawyer slated to become president of the Colorado Credit Union League in June 2002, the next eight months will be a "great learning period for me," he said. Indeed, the 51-year-old ex-lobbyist for the Kansas Credit Union Association looks on this...
HILTON HEAD, S.C. - Credit union mergers and the changing nature of the industry's business is triggering a broad new look at league structure and operations with a particular emphasis on "invigorating" the chapter network, described in some locales as "moribund" through loss of member participation. The issue of league...
DENVER - It's been 28 years since Carroll D. Beach took over as president of the Colorado Credit Union League, and today his friends, associates and scores of CU executives across the nation call him the most powerful "missionary for credit unions" anywhere. And on Capitol Hill and in the...
