The best way to do this is know how to document the transaction in a way that covers all the bases for the lender. Learn the best ways to mitigate lending risk from the perspective of an attorney with lending experience in both a commercial and consumer context on the front-end (documentation) and back end (collection).

Today more than ever a manager needs to be a coach to their employees. Gallup research shows that only 23% of employees strongly agree that their manager provides them with meaningful feedback, and only two in 10 strongly agree that their performance is managed in a way that motivates them to do outstanding work.
Coaching goes beyond showing someone how to perform a task. It’s about investing in a person to improve their life, while improving their performance. In this webinar, Joe will provide practical strategies and tactics to accomplish this. Effectively coaching team members means greater levels of commitment and productivity, which is a benefit to any credit union.

When hackers look at credit unions, they see one thing – lots and lots of useful data, ready for the taking. Financial institutions have a giant bullseye on their backs and it’s easy to see why. Account information, credit card numbers and personal identifiers are part of your everyday business. Hackers want that information, so your institution needs to be ready to protect it. The first step? Performing an information security risk assessment (ISRA).
But wait…what does an ISRA entail and how can your credit union prepare? Join John Cuneo as he goes over the basics of ISRAs and how you can use the assessment to defend your data against hackers.
This webinar is designed for all staff who are responsible for information security and/or risk management within your credit union, or anyone wishing to learn more about information security risks.

You know what’s so great about our movement? We all have the same last name…credit union. That means we’re all members of the same community, one where we can support and uplift each other through collaboration.

Selecting a core provider is no small task. It requires you to ask lots of questions, do your research, document your current core’s perceived shortcomings and anticipate credit union’s and members’ needs both now and in the future. You must consider the following: what solutions are necessary for the credit union’s daily processing, what tools are available to help your self-service members, whether the processor has the resources to support your credit union’s needs/size and whether the solution is cost-effective for your credit union, among other things. And while there’s no doubt that it is a rigorous process, this webinar is meant to take some of the stress out of it.
