NAFCU's Weekend Reading Pile
Compiled by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
I hope you enjoy these collections of articles. As credit unions leaders, I know you have to keep your eyes on so many things. My hope is that at least one of these articles each week may make a difference in your day.
As always, let me know what you want to see, or not see, for that matter.
I know this week is special to different people for different reasons. Happy Passover. Happy Easter. And for the kiddos, here's hoping the Easter Bunny pays a visit.
Now, on to this week's reading pile!
