The only thing we feel certain about these days is that uncertainty is here to stay. With increasingly frequent extreme weather events and continued economic and political volatility, it can feel hard to be proactive about realizing your credit union's mission and vision.

The values that are baked into the cooperative principles are what set credit unions apart from other players in the financial services industry, and now is the time to make the most of them. In this session, we'll focus on how to leverage three of these principles -- Cooperation Among Cooperatives; Concern for the Community; and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion -- to pursue sustainable growth, engage your members, and deepen your community impact.  

This interactive session is jam packed with examples of innovative, inspiring initiatives your credit unions peers have embarked on to unstick themselves from the reactivity trap and supercharge their impact efforts in the midst of ongoing volatility.   

Key Takeaways:

• Go beyond demographics to truly understand your members  
• Preserve your personal touch and community focus in the digital age  
• Foster non-transactional partnerships that go beyond the Big Check to generate meaningful impact  
• Leverage the cooperative principles to attract younger members and recruit values-aligned talent
