White Papers On Biz Lending, Biz Development Available

MADISON, Wis. - Two new white papers are available from the CUNA Councils. "Partnerships Power Business Lending" from the CUNA Lending Council discusses the competitive advantages that credit unions have with localized decision making based on the best interests of the community as well as local partnerships. The paper then distinguishes between a number of internal and external partners and provides demographics and advice on cultivating relationships for each of these groups.

Separately, "Business Development: Creating Community Connections" from the CUNA Marketing and Business Development Council explores how five different credit unions that have moved to a community charter still use business development to meet their goals. CUNA Council members are entitled to complimentary copies of these white papers; non-members may purchase the white papers for a price of $50 per copy. The papers are available online at www.cunacouncils.org; select the "Shared White Papers" link located in the "Shared Council Content" drop-down menu and select the "Marketing & BizDev" tab for the business development paper, or the "Lending" tab for the business lending paper.
