WASHINGTON, DC – Strategy superstar and best-selling author Kaihan Krippendorff will keynote the National Association of Federal Credit Unions’ (NAFCU) 46th Annual Conference and Solutions Expo, July 9-13, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, providing those in attendance the secrets to outthinking the competition.
