“Effective Board Governance: Avoiding the Enron Syndrome”
Enron represents the largest corporate failure in American history. Enron went bad because the Board of Directors let it. Were they all crooks? No! Did the Board fail in its responsibilities to Stakeholders? You bet it did. Good governance is not easy. Too many credit unions are using an outdated governance method that keeps too much power in the hands of the board and many others are attempting to use modern methods in the wrong way that passes too much power to the CEO. This course will talk about new and effective methods available that take into consideration the growing sophistication of credit unions and their management teams. We will discuss Policy Governance and a much modified form of Carver Governance that works will in Credit Unions.

“Strategies of High Performing Credit Unions”
“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” Most credit unions don’t really know where they are going, and many others aren’t sure what alternative routes are available. This course studies high performing credit unions, of various asset sizes, and focuses on the unique product, service or delivery strategies they have used to acheive their excellent results. We will discuss how financial institutions have differentiated themselves in a crowded financial services marketplace.

We will also look at how size, field of membership, your local economy and many other factors can frame your strategy for you. You will leave with a variety new ideas to improve your credit union’s financial and member service performance.
“The Perfect Board Packet: and Understanding the Information in It”
The Monthly Board Packet is a critical piece in operating a credit union. It is most Board members’ only connection to the credit union. If the Board Packet contains the right information and the Volunteers understand it, they will make more informed, sound decisions. If the Packet lacks clarity the Board members will have difficulty knowing what decisions to make. This course gives suggestions on what information should be in a Monthly Board Packet and guidance on what that means to the credit union.
“Commander in Chief or Captain: Who's Guiding Your Ship”
Who is guiding your credit union? Your CEO? Your Board? This is an important question we all must clarify for the credit union to be efficient, effective and the best at serving your members. While the board’s role is to set the course of the credit union, it is the CEO’s role to steer the ship. This session discusses why the distinction between these two roles can lead to a successful voyage, or to the dashing of your ship against jagged rocks. It also identifies how the board can set the course and establish useful measures to monitor the progress along the way and how management can assist the board with useful information.
