Speaker:  Josh Roberts, CCUE, CUDE, VP of System Collaboration & Development

For credit unions to be effective in serving their communities, they must first understand the diversity in their communities. The focus of diversity, equity, and inclusion are so much more than visible characteristics, and what separates us, but rather what makes our communities better. This isn't a journey that each credit union needs to tackle on their own. Credit unions can partner with community groups, local organizations and other credit unions to help create a path to a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization.

In this session, we will:

• Define diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Understand how to breakdown what the perceived diversity in your communities is and educate staff, boards, and members on the realities of diversity in your community through various resources
• How to make the business case for DEI and how to make sure your credit union's internal culture matches with your external culture
• Making sure the credit union isn't just talking about DEI but is instead actively showcasing their efforts

Title:  Vulnerability is Leadership
Hosted by: Kentucky Credit Union League 
Speaker: Dr. OJ Oleka

Session description: Leaders often feel like every decision is critical to the success of our team, organization, or bottom line. As a result, there is tremendous pressure put on us - by others and ourselves - to get every decision right. This can sometimes lead to anxiety, overexertion, and ultimately a wrong decision. During crisis leadership, as we are all experiencing right now, that pressure is heightened. In this discussion, Dr. Oleka will lead an honest conversation on the humanity of leadership and how understanding your imperfections as a human being can help in maximizing your potential as a great leader, especially in a crisis.

Title: Exploring the building blocks of community finance 
Hosted by: Hawaii Credit Union League 
Speaker: Pablo DeFilippi & Terry Ratigan

Session description: 2020 has exposed the ugly truth of a financial system that doesn't work for everyone. More than ever, mission driven credit unions play a critical role providing asset building opportunities and helping strengthen rural and minority communities that have been disproportionally impacted by the pandemic and economic slowdown. Over the last 20 years, a number of tools have become available to credit unions serving financially underserved populations. NCUA's low income designation provides  a valuable regulatory framework that allows among other benefits, raise secondary capital to help them grow and manage risk; the Minority Depository designation, also given by NCUA will become increasingly important as the nation attempts to address systemic racism. The CDFI Certification provided by the US Treasury Department is another valuable building block that provides access to funding opportunities. In fact, the CDFI Fund has become the single most important source of external funding for credit unions. Since its inception 25 years ago, it has provided over $400 million in technical and financial assistance grants. Together, these credentials provide a formidable set of tools that can be effectively leveraged to amplify your credit union impact on your community and do well by doing good.
