Meet Our Discussion Leader:
Dan Clark
 President and Founder of Dan Clark Associates, Dan is a forty-year veteran of the credit union movement. As a regulator in Florida, the only field examiner to hold that post, Dan raised the quality of Florida’s credit unions by firming up the fundaments and dealing creatively with individual issues. He further served Florida’s credit unions as head of the League’s auditing services. Beginning in 1981, Dan founded his consulting firm and began an eight-year stint as a director on SCORE FCU’s board. While there he was instrumental in developing Board Governance Policies. He also served that board as Chair. Dan put the consulting firm into part-time mode as he served Tallahassee-Leon FCU as its CEO, 1987-2005. There he led the CU from 3 to 10% Net Worth, converted host systems, and improved the board’s information/knowledge system. During that time Dan earned the Management Achievement Award from the Credit Union Executives Society, the Certified CU Executive designation from CUNA, and opened two branches. TLFCU grew in assets three times faster than the annual growth in employees. Just prior to leaving TLFCU, he filed a successful proposal to NCUA to grant a community charter. Clark’s consulting focus is board governance and strategic planning. In the latter, he specializes in raising planning to the next level, helping boards become more visionary, and extending the horizon for long-range planning beyond financial projections. Dan is also helping credit unions implement Member Financial Coaching as an important service offering. Dan holds a degree in business and economics, with a concentration in accounting, from Central Florida’s Rollins College. He has written two books on credit union board governance and offers a model board governance policy manual.

Exploring Beautiful Romantic Destinations ...
Palma De Mallorca, Spain Palma de Mallorca is the largest of the Spanish Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and is located just off the east coast of Spain. The island's coastline is marked by a series of small caves and beautiful beaches. Palma de Mallorca is the capital city of the Balearic Islands and nearly two-thirds of the total population live in Palma. The number of people greatly increases in the spring, as the island is a favorite European resort. Barcelona, Spain Barcelona is located in the northeastern part of the country, 90 miles south of the French border. People from all around the world enjoy visiting this city for its individuality, cultural interest and physical beauty. When Hans Christian Andersen visited in 1862, he remarked that Barcelona was the "Paris of Spain." You're likely to agree. The city is a major cultural center with a fascinating history. Everywhere are archives, libraries, museums and buildings of interest - plus superb examples of modernist and Art Nouveau décor and architecture. Ibiza, Spain The culture and style of Ibiza is as varied as its pronunciation ("e-vee-tha" or "e-bee-tha" or "e-bee-zha," depending on where you're from). And you'd be hard-pressed to find such a cosmopolitan mix outside Paris or Manhattan. Ibiza attracts all sorts of people with its vibrant nightlife, gorgeous beaches and perfect Mediterranean climate. Malaga, Spain
A bustling coastal city and the capital of Costa del Sol, Málaga is the second largest port in Spain. One of the most interesting places to explore is the old historic quarter, which dates back nearly 800 years. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso, Málaga boasts miles of beautiful beaches, picturesque gardens and fantastic weather. Gibraltar, United Kingdom
Located at the southernmost tip of Europe, the Rock of Gibraltar is literally between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Its unique location has played a pivotal role in history, as countries fought for control over this busy seaport.
