Two new features/perspectives that I hope you'll find worth your time: * With the future of overdrafts in question, including potentially disappearing at some point, credit unions should be opening their strategic playbooks now and looking at their options, says one expert, who adds that CUSO partnerships need to be near the top of the list. Story here: https://lnkd.in/e_5nFTRu * The African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) has entered into the second phase of its Future Fund campaign, and the organization says that in addition to driving programs that address the racial wealth gap, the effort will also support small credit unions in an area critical to their ongoing success—succession planning.

Credit Unions are one of the best-kept secrets in the financial industry and even in nations worldwide. While big banks focus on maximizing profitability—sometimes at the expense of their customers—Credit Unions are dedicated to empowering their members economically, professionally, and in various other ways. Credit Unions aim to develop communities, contrasting with some organizations that seek to exploit them. They are committed to improving the lives of the underprivileged, the youth, and women, ensuring the financial well-being of their members. I encourage everyone to consider the benefits of using a Credit Union within their professional and personal communities. With that in mind, I am honoured to announce that I will be speaking at this year's World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) Conference of Credit Unions taking place in Boston from July 21 to 24. With over 2,000 registered attendees, kindly let me know if you will be attending so we can plan to connect at the Boston Convention Center. Even if you are not attending the conference but are in the Boston area, I would be delighted to meet. During the conference, I will share insights from my upcoming book, The Mystique of Transformation. I will provide tips, tools, techniques, and strategies to transform mentalities, structures, systems, and cultures in your organization and beyond. In my previous book, I defined leadership as a spirit that can only be ignited by purpose, sustained by passion, and guided by principles. Enjoy the weekend while leading yourself and your purpose.

Great leaders can make great change

PCCU recently attended the Inclusiv Credit Unions Conference 50 in New York. At the four-day conference PCCU discussed how credit unions in the UK serve members with ethical savings and affordable loans, shared experience with US colleagues and identify ways to improve the service we provide. The team took the opportunity to visit Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union and Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union to discuss the challenges we both face and celebrate the great successes we have had in helping our communities. PCCU CEO Kathryn highlighted how valuable Inclusiv 50 had been "The 2024 Inclusiv conference was an amazing, inspirational experience. The sessions and credit union branch visits highlighted that PCCU face the same challenges as many of the Community Development Credit Unions in the US. To share our practices and experiences with each other strengthens our commitment to serve low and moderate income members of our communities in an inclusive and respectful way. In the same way as PCCU, US credit unions celebrates the great successes they have in helping their communities while adhering to the co-operative principles. " Find out more 👇 #inclusiv50

"One of the great qualities about credit unions in times of crisis is that we are for more than simply providing relief. We're about establishing sustainability."

CoBank would be very well served Thomas Halverson to have an innovator like Scott Hendrix on your board. Many cooperative leaders “talk” mission, purpose and community. I see Scott and his team exemplify what it means to be a cooperative team with a mission and purpose centered on the communities they serve every single day. He has led the Tombigbee EPA organization to innovate and radically transform their community by partnering and pushing our company - Calix to improve so that his team can lead. As this is a bank discussion - they were cash flow positive in a record 2 years (7 years is the norm), massively profitable in the 3rd year (normally ~10 yrs) and grew at an insane pace against an entrenched competitor with record satisfaction - 92NPS. Now that financial metrics are aside - the how comes out. Their leadership purpose with Scott at the front. Every community member is protected. They started there - stopping malware, phishing and viruses for ALL members. Why? Because it is right. Then they launched cyber bullying and parental support to protect children with Bark. Walk the walk. Put the community first - every member. Old and young - the vulnerable. Making everyone safer …. BETTER. Because it is the right thing to do - FAST - for the community. No debate. Got it done. Then he pushed to deploy SmartTown Wi-Fi everywhere. Why? Because he wanted first responders, sports fields, downtown and students connected. Now. A first responder asked - Why doesn’t every community CEO do this for their first responders? If the community is first - it is a mystifying list of why nots versus setting the community first and getting it done while partnering to resolve issues. Scott and his team pushed through first - and did what others can now see needs to get done. Next - he prioritized small businesses which do not have complex IT teams. Now every small business in their communities are truly secure from phishing and malware attacks for the first time - at a time when evil nation states like Russia and N Korea are attacking the vulnerable lifeblood of communities - the small business. NO MORE. Got it done. At every turn he pushes to make the community better. Purpose takes action with Scott - every day. I can think of no better candidate than Scott Hendrix for their board to bring the voice of rural America.
