Join Us for Directors Conference
This must-attend event for credit union directors provides you and your colleagues an in-depth look at relevant governance and strategy issues affecting your board, credit union, and the movement as a whole.
This remains a time of constant change. You will be able to pick the brains of others and gain a deeper and broader understanding of the governance challenges we all face with content uniquely relevant to your role as a credit union director.
Topics Covered Will Include:
- Governance and Leadership
- Strategy
- Innovation and Change
- And more!
Bring your entire board!
You will all learn together, network together and be on the same page back at your credit union. We will even help you arrange a board meeting while you are at Directors Conference. Contact us at events@cues.org for details.
Why You Should Attend:
Directors—Why Should You Attend?
- Strong learning environment and collaboration with 10 hours of dedicated learning time, and up to 12 CPE credits.
- Highly interactive content that is unique to your role as credit union board member.
- Directors Conference is part learning, part networking, and part inspiration—you’ll head home energized with many new ideas to implement.
CEOs—Why Send Your Directors?
- Your directors will learn governance best practices and key regulatory and fiduciary issues that will help keep your board—and your credit union—strong.
- Networking is an important part of this conference; your directors will form bonds with fellow board members they can reach out to once they are home.
- Conference speakers will provide cross-industry perspectives that can be invaluable in your boardroom.
"Very good conference; lots of diverse topics, made you think about the future. Excellent time to network and discuss similar and different ways for boards to function."
