Best Benefit Ever: Economic Updates for Credit Union Experts

What’s the benefit? Thanks to a new benefit  (opens in a new tab) sponsored by the Credit Union National Association  (opens in a new tab) CFO Council, professionals in the credit union industry will be able to keep their fingers on the pulse of the economy and the factors influencing their work. All affiliated CUNA credit unions and leagues can view monthly 15-minute Economic Update  (opens in a new tab) videos that highlight the most important news in the world of economics and feature insights from CUNA economists. “We know how important it is for credit unions to have access to the latest economic trends and data,” Bill Hampel, CUNA’s chief policy officer, said in a statement  (opens in a new tab). “By providing Economic Update videos as a CUNA membership benefit, we ensure that our members have the knowledge and insights they need for leading as financial institutions.”

Why it works for members: Economics is a vast, complicated field, and not all of the developments within it trickle down to everyone in the credit union industry. But with the Economic Update videos, CUNA members can get the latest news that’s most pertinent to them in a quick, digestible format.

Other perks: CUNA members can also stay informed about economic policy with the association’s collection of electronic and print publications  (opens in a new tab). For professional development, members can take advantage of marketing and education resources  (opens in a new tab) and participate in a variety of exclusive events and promotions  (opens in a new tab).
