CU*Answers, a Grand Rapids-based 100% credit union-owned CUSO, continues to prove that optimism and collaboration within the credit union industry are alive and well. CU*Answers’ 11th Annual CEO Strategies Week held the week of November 7th drew in 58 credit union CEOs from across the country. According to the CUSO, this was a perfect follow-up to the Annual Leadership Conference held in June, which drew a crowd of 160+ credit union professionals.

A peer to peer learning environment allowed CEOs to brainstorm and address topics and concerns unique to the credit union industry. CU*Answers CEO, Randy Karnes facilitated a day-long discussion on how CEOs can use CU*BASE tools to interact with management and Board teams. In addition to roundtable and facilitated discussions, time was allowed for networking with peers in a social setting.
