Conference Speaking
Management and Board Topics (Page 4 of 4)
"The True Essence of Teamwork"
Teams are not easy to build and are very easy to damage. What makes a good team, and conversely, what factors can make team building almost impossible? This session touches on Building Trust, Engaging in Constructive Conflict, Creating Commitment, Demanding Accountability, and Focusing on Results. Learn what true teamwork means and how to incorporate it into your professional and personal life.
"Financial Statements Made Easy: Finally!"
Understanding financial statements and reports is vital for many people in the credit union, however, many non-financial volunteers and employees do not fully grasp the nature of accounts, relationships between accounts and the importance of critical financial statement elements. This course makes financial statements simple; everyone will come away grasping them as they never did before. Examples are reviewed of the statement of financial condition, income statement, other key reports and key ratios.
"Board Governance Essentials: Becoming a Better Board Member"
A board member's duties can seem overwhelming and far reaching. This course illumines the fundamental duties of a board and the best ways to discharge them. It will cover functions that boards often become involved in that have little benefit, or a negative impact on the credit union, and how to focus on those things that will be the most beneficial. We will also cover ideas on what very effective boards do to make the best use of their time and guide their credit union to become the best for the membership.
"Essential Questions You Ought to be Asking"
This session uses an open discussion format to educate Board Members and Supervisory Committee Members on 101 things they should know the answers to. They will discuss subjects from "What is conflict of interest?" to "What is the credit union's strategic direction?" to "Have the bank accounts ever not been reconciled by the 15th of the month?" If the volunteers know the answers to these questions, they will be well informed on the inner workings of their credit union.
"Board Self-Evaluations: Essential to Governance"
Board self-assessment provides board members with an opportunity to: Reflect on their individual and corporate responsibilities; identify different perceptions and opinions among board members; point to questions that need attention; use the results as a springboard for board improvement; increase the level of board teamwork; clarify mutual board/staff expectations; demonstrate that accountability is a serious organizational value; provide credibility with members and examiners, and look internally in addition to assessing the CEO and programs.
