EXPLORE STRATEGIES THAT WILL HELP YOU AND YOUR CREDIT UNION SUCCEED WELL INTO THE FUTURE
The speed of change in the financial industry is both exciting and challenging. Credit Union Leaders 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 this knowledge to experience growth in both you as a leader, and your credit union.
Join CU EduCruises as we head to the Far East! You are about to embark on an amazing conference journey from Hong Kong to Singapore while exploring Thailand and Vietnam in between. A cruise to Thailand and Vietnam is an absolute sensory adventure with vibrant cities, serene beaches, ancient temples, and extraordinary cuisine!
