Musings from the CU Suite

A little weekend reading...

It has been a great week! NAFCU picked up 3 new members. I got to visit five credit unions. And I made a ton of new friends at NAFCU's Strategic Growth Conference in Charleston. 

After a week-long infusion of credit union conversations, I can tell you this.

We're in good hands! Good people and good ideas are all over the place in credit union land!

Now, on to this week's reading pile.
