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.

Join us aboard the beautiful new luxury ship ‘Celebrity Apex’ as we meet together while sailing to the magical countries of Iceland, Ireland and the Netherlands. Your CU EduCruise begins and concludes in beautiful Amsterdam Netherland, traveling on to Iceland, with 2 overnight stops in both Akureyri and Reykjavik. Once leaving Iceland, the cruise will include visits to the magical Irish cities of Belfast, Dublin and Cork. This fascinating CU EduCruise adventure is a wonderful blend of outdoor grandeur, exciting cities, quaint towns and educational opportunities galore.
