Credit Union National Association (CUNA) recently announced election results for its Board of Directors Executive Committee. The newly elected directors will take office following the CUNA Annual General Meeting, which will be held virtually during the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) on March 2.

Register for the Introduction Webinar 

The MnCUN Data Education Program, presented by Anne Legg, author of Big Data/Big Climb and Founder & CEO of Thrive Strategic Services, is a data analytics education series which offers tools and a forum for knowledge exchange to help key stakeholders fill knowledge gaps and launch their data journey with the assets they have at their credit union. The certification program, to be held this February 9, 22, 23 and 25, 2021, will be split up into seven courses with one morning session and one afternoon session each date.

You do not need to be a data lover or even a math lover to leverage your data to improve the lives of your member. Any credit union leader, staff or volunteer is encouraged to attend; the only criteria to attend is that you want to improve your members lives.
