Councils

Join your credit union peers for empowering programming that keeps you informed in an ever-changing environment. Councils provide a forum for sharing best practices, engaging in rich dialogue, and connecting with colleagues for deeper insights into your discipline’s most critical topics.

Programming features eight councils, including the newly added Financial Strategy Council. Each council meets three times a year, with just-in-time meetings called as needed. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay informed, connected, and ahead of the curve this year!

2021 Council Programs

Councils provide a forum for peer groups to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. Council members enjoy virtual networking opportunities, admission to all council-specific meetings, and access to a council-specific e-mail discussion group.

The 2021 Council meetings will be held online via the Zoom video conferencing platform. To participate in the meetings, attendees will need access to a computer or video conferencing system with working speakers.

To learn more about Zoom and how to join the meetings, watch this 1-minute video or reach out to Mark Gonzalez.
