MADISON, Wis. - Credit unions can learn strategies to increasing their membership growth and hear about the work and preliminary findings of the CUNA Membership Growth Task Force in a free audio conference, taking place Thursday, May 29.

The “Supercharging Your Membership Growth Audio Conference” will begin with an overview of the task force’s overall purpose, activities, and findings to date. From there, the conference will become an open forum for participants to provide their ideas and feedback and share their success stories. Participants from fast-growing credit unions will be encouraged to share any policies, practices, and strategies they’ve found especially helpful.

Overall, the focus will be on these areas, which were deemed by the task force to be critically important to increasing membership growth:

• Awareness and image,
• New markets,
• Best practices,
• Efficiency and back-office issues, and
• Growth metrics.

The CUNA Membership Growth Task Force – chaired by Texas Credit Union League President and CEO Dick Newsier – was established to investigate, report on, and encourage credit unions to embrace opportunities, techniques, and processes that will increase membership retention and growth.

For more information or to register for this free audio conference, go to training.cuna.org, and select the “Audio Conferences” link. Program content questions may be directed to (800) 356-9655, ext. 4249.
