Credit Union Seminars in a Box for Members kits

Out-of-the-box member education materials...they’re IN the box!

Time. Credit union professionals, like you, never seem to have enough of it because of your many diverse responsibilities—among them, conducting member education seminars.

Member education is vital when you consider the sheer numbers of issues facing consumers:

• An estimated 8.4 million people were victims of identity theft in 2007, with the average victim spending 25 hours resolving problems. ¹
• 14.1% of Americans have at least 10 credit cards. The average American cardholder has four cards. ²
• The number of bankruptcy filings increased 28.9% for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2008, compared with the previous 12-month period. The continued growth of this number indicates that "last resort" bankruptcy--as it used to be considered--has now become a financial management fall-back for many people. ³
• Teens' financial know-how has sunk to an all-time low. In a nationwide survey released in April 2008, high school seniors answered correctly only 48.3% of questions about personal finance and economics, the worst score out of the six surveys conducted so far. It is vitally important for individuals to become financially literate at an early age so they are better prepared to make informed decisions in an increasingly complex marketplace. ⁴

The need for education is real, but the planning can be a time-consuming process.

That’s why Credit Union Seminars in a Box kits were designed with your busy schedule in mind. Everything you need to plan and execute a member seminar is in the box—just add the members!
