BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Alabama league hosted its 75th Annual Membership Meeting & Education Symposium here with more than 250 people in attendance. The meeting was themed “Stronger Together,” and it included a wall of pictures culled from the league archives.
“We took this opportunity to showcase some of the people who made inroads for credit unions,” said ACUL CEO Gary Wolter. “But we didn’t have enough wall space to show pictures of every person who makes the movement special. Every one of our member credit unions and their volunteers should have been pictured.” Filene Markets To Young Adults
MADISON, Wis.–The Filene Research Institute has initiated CU Tomorrow, an initiative aimed at helping credit unions attract younger members, younger professionals, and younger volunteers. As one component of CU Tomorrow, Filene has also introduced CU Tomorrow Business Briefs, a “series of open-source, young adult business plans for credit unions.”
Ben Rogers, who is overseeing the CU Tomorrow project, said the CU Tomorrow Business Briefs are short documents, crafted to share innovative ideas and real-life credit union examples with the larger credit union community. All are free and designed to be useful for credit unions of all sizes, he added.
The first three Business Brief publications, titled Young Adult Advisors, Credit Card Consolidation Loans, and Campus Recruiting: Finding and Keeping Talented Young Employees are already available in both print and electronic format.
