NAPERVILLE, Ill.–– Alloya Corporate FCU has launched a new virtual education series, Link. The series will replace and expand upon the corporate’s existing monthly webinar series, Connection, to “deliver an enhanced, more engaging and more sophisticated virtual education experience,” the corporate said.
“Since the onset of the pandemic, we have been seeking creative ways to keep connected with our membership,” said SVP-Membership Tim Bruculere. “At a time when everyone is hosting webinars and transitioning their traditionally in-person events to a virtual environment, we challenged ourselves to think imaginatively about the online education we at Alloya want to deliver to credit unions. When we decided to broaden our virtual education program, we elected to up the ante in other areas as well.”
Each month Alloya said it will host two, free hour-long Link sessions that will be hosted through a new, sleek and user-friendly virtual event platform. Presenters will include industry experts as well as acclaimed speakers external to the credit union movement, Alloya reported.
“Topics will extend beyond traditional credit union themes to engage a wider range of interests and audience members,” the corporate added. “Digital technologies, change management, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and leadership are among the topics slated for the first quarter of the 2021. CPE credits will be offered for each of the first quarter sessions, and most other sessions throughout the year.”
The first session is the new series will be “Technology Reigns” on Jan. 14, 2021 at 2:00 pm ET. The session, presented by Mark Sievewright and Guillermo Kopp, co-authors of the new book Digital Life, will offer specific and actionable advice to help credit unions remain relevant and competitive in a world where technology is king, Alloya said. The first 200 credit union registrants will receive a complimentary copy of their book, Digital Life. For more info on the first quarter’s events: www.alloyacorp.org/linkwithalloya/.
