EXPLORE LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES & SKILLS THAT WILL IMPACT THE SUCCESS OF YOUR CREDIT UNION
The speed of change in the financial industry is both exciting and challenging. Credit Unions can’t continue to do “business as usual”, but must become flexible and quick. To be able to do this, credit unions must have an understanding of critical changes impacting strategic growth, leadership success and innovation. Participants in this credit union cruise/conference will be given a better understanding of what changes are coming, how to prepare for fast paced change, and how to use change to better serve the members.
Celebrated in song, poem and tall tale, the `Gold Rush` of Alaska must be experienced for oneself! You`ll journey to those places that made Alaska & the Yukon famous! Learn the history of the gold boom town of Kantishna as you explore beautiful Denali National Park. Pan for gold nuggets in the Golden Heart City of Fairbanks, and venture to where it all started back in the Days of `98, Dawson City! Your conference adventure includes a 7-night guided land tour and a relaxing 4-night Alaskan cruise onboard Holland America`s ship ‘MS Koningsdam’. Isn`t it time to start writing your own tales? There`s no better place than Alaska and the Yukon to capture those stories!
