Small credit unions are renowned for banding together to help one another. CUNA Mutual Group tapped into that strength by convening a council of 10 leaders of small and midsized credit unions across the country to share ideas and solutions. As part of the council’s meeting in October at the CUNA Mutual Group campus, the council conversed with CEO Jeff Post and other company leaders.
Lucile Beckwith, CEO of Palmetto Trust Federal Credit Union in South Carolina states that she has “great admiration for the contributions of her fellow council members and trusts that CUNA Mutual Group has a sincere interest in helping small credit unions succeed and provide great service to their members.”
Senior Sales VP Mike Defnet joined Post regarding the importance of small credit unions. Additional topics included: economic trends impacting loan performance and consumer lending; the new TruStage™ direct to consumer brand that provides credit unions a means to help members anytime, anywhere from any device; and an update from Dave Colby, Chief Economist regarding the slow economic recovery.
