The need for credit union financial training has grown far beyond the chief financial officer. The environment in which credit union managers operate continues to become more complex as credit unions are faced with more competition from traditional financial institutions, as well as nontraditional organizations offering financial services. For credit unions to survive and flourish in a robust business environment, sound business practices must be followed. Now, more than ever, credit union professionals need the value of financial training. Volunteers, executives, and managers are now being asked to make critical decisions based on their financial knowledge. Do you understand your credit unions numbers?

This event is in conjunction with the CUNA CFO Council.

Just like in face-to-face classes, CUNA Webinars allow you to see and hear a presentation, ask questions of the instructor, and refer to handouts. You need only a speakerphone and computer with Internet connection. With a computer projection screen, it's easy to provide this training to a whole roomful of staff!

When you register for an event, the connection information will be e-mailed to you 24-48 hours before the event. If you are registering for an event the day it is being held, please call 800-356-9655, ext. 4249 or e-mail training@cuna.coop for assistance.

Did you know...in addition to attending this event live, your tuition includes six months of unlimited access to the archived (recorded) event within 48 hours of the live event for your entire credit union. See the archived events available to you and your credit union.

CUNA Webinars use Adobe Connect to provide an interactive and convenient online learning environment. Whether you are a first time Adobe Connect user, or simply need a refresher, take a short tour. You'll learn how to effectively interact with the presenter and your peers during live webinars.
