ORLANDO, Fla.–The Credit Union Journal has unveiled the formal agenda for a conference dedicated solely to the No. 1 issue in front of credit unions: Growth.
The Journal’s first-ever Grow Show is set for April 27-29 at the ChampionsGate Resort in Orlando. Among the many features: CEOs of successful, growing credit unions sharing their strategies and insights for moving their CUs forward; an analysis of the “sacred cows” of the credit union business model; a fresh update on consumer attitudes toward credit unions and what drives member thinking, and even a special outside perspective on growing a cooperative from the vice president of marketing at Vermont Creamery, one of the country’s most successful co-ops.
