MADISON, Wis.—CUES has partnered with the University of Chicago Booth School of Business for the first time to offer a new Mergers & Acquisitions Institute that will be hosted by Chicago Booth on June 27-30, 2016 in Chicago.
"Mergers and acquisitions are an important component of the growth strategies of many credit unions. At CUES, we understand the evolving needs of our members. We want to support them from an educational standpoint, to put them in the best position to succeed," said John Pembroke, CUES' president/CEO. "Like our other institutes, CUES' Mergers & Acquisitions Institute is tailor-made for the industry. The curriculum will closely examine mergers, acquisitions, and alliances, and arm attendees with what they need to make good decisions for their credit union and their members. They'll also learn to successfully carry out the plan that works best for them."
CUES said its Mergers & Acquisitions Institute has been designed specifically for the credit union community, and attendees will learn directly from Booth faculty. Credit union leaders who attend will learn smart ways to grow their organization by:
- Analyzing strategic alternatives to mergers and acquisitions
- Developing evaluation strategies for buy versus build
- Developing an analytical framework for integrating the various stages of an acquisition
- Estimating the real cost of a merger or acquisition
- Implementing a strategy for integration and restructuring
As one of the world's leading business schools in finance, CUES' Mergers & Acquisitions Institute joins the CEO Institute, held at three schools: The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; Samuel Curtis Johnson School of Management, Cornell University; and Darden School of Business, University of Virginia; CUES Governance Leadership Institute, held at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto; and Strategic Innovation Institute, held at MIT Sloan School of Management and Stanford Graduate School of Business.
