Musings from the CU Suite

Spring training games are on TV. My March Madness bracket is already in shambles. Flowers are poking up here and there. 

It is my time of year! Spring is just around the corner. 

Get a cup of java, and dig into this week's reading pile!

And yesterday was a good day. I spoke to a PACKED room at NAFCU's Regulatory Compliance School. It was Saint Patrick's Day. March Madness was underway. It was a nice warm day, the kind that flirts with you to go outside. And yet nearly 200 compliance, audit and risk professionals packed the room, listening to regulatory updates. 

I love these guys!
