Select Council advises CUNA Mutal Group on small/midsize CU needs

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 recent meeting at the CUNA Mutual Group campus, the council conversed with CEO Jeff Post, Senior Sales VP Mike Defnet and other company leaders.

"I have been a member of the Select Council for the past three years and have been impressed on the commitment CUNA Mutual has made to the small and midsize credit unions," said Jim Schrimpf, CEO of Brewery Credit Union in Milwaukee.

"I am convinced our long time survival is a high priority and is demonstrated not only with the innovative products and services that they offer but also with the ongoing lobbing efforts at many levels on our behalf," he said.

Discussion focused on:

The continued importance of small credit unions and their needs

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
