CU*Answers has announced a program this year to assist credit union CEOs and leaders in covering expenses related to attending the annual CU*Answers Leadership Conference and Golf Outing. The event, scheduled for June 21 – 23 in downtown Grand Rapids, MI, is designed for senior leaders to get together with peers and hear CU*Answers’ vision for its partnership during the coming year. The scholarship program is intended to provide this networking opportunity to a wider scope of the CU*Answers network, especially smaller credit unions that traditionally cannot afford travel expenses to the event. Applications are open to would-be first time attendees of the conference, provided they are a CEO of a CU*BASE® credit union.

Twenty scholarships of up to $1000 each are available, and applications are due before April 21, 2016. Scholarship selections will be made by a committee of CU*Answers staff, and the selected applicants will receive notifications during the week of April 25, 2016. The theme of the conference this year is “Redefine Everything Credit Union”. For more information or to apply for a conference scholarship, please visit CU*Answers’ website.
