DEL MAR, Calif.–The National Association of Credit Union Chairmen is marking its 40th birthday. The organization, which was founded as the National Association of CU Presidents (chairmen were often referred to as president in the early days of CUs), will celebrate the milestone when it hosts its annual meeting Oct. 5-8 in Philadelphia.
“The unique meeting format of the Chairmen’s Roundtable Forum consists of multiple groups of volunteer board leaders sitting at roundtables discussing pre-determined topics,” NACUC said in a statement. “A hallmark of the meeting is that participants sit with a different group during each roundtable providing for maximum exposure to ideas from a variety of credit unions.
The group said another unusual feature of its gathering is that it is the chairmen who select the topics and write positions papers on those topics to share with each other. This year’s roundtable topics are: Governance Best Practices to Meet Regulatory and Compliance Challenges; Business Lending Policies that Position Your Credit Union for Success; Board Composition: How to Assess and Develop Your Best Board Yet; The Leadership Partnership: Board Chairman and CEO; and, Supervisory Committees: Ally or Antagonist. The sixth roundtable is an open forum of topics not already discussed.
