CU*Answers, a 100% credit union-owned cooperative CUSO held its Ohio Regional Training Event on May 8, 2013 to a record crowd. With over 25 attendees from more than a dozen credit unions in the Ohio region, the event set the record for the number of attendees at a regional training event.

The day long training session had a focus on marketing tools within CU*BASE^® and how credit unions can use the software tools to reach out to members based on opportunities. There were a total of five classes that were facilitated by Keegan Daniel, Manager of Professional Services – Gividends, that ranged from implementing a cross sales culture within a credit union, to best practices for email marketing. All credit unions who attended walked away with action items that could potentially lead to new opportunities within their membership.

Other regional training events that will be held later this year are in Wisconsin and South Dakota. The theme for these events will be consistent with that of the Ohio Regional Training event.
