CUNA to host vendor program on the credit union marketplace in 2016
WASHINGTON, DC (October 30, 2015) — CUNA Strategic Services will host an intensive, educational program for vendors looking to deepen their understanding of credit unions and how best to serve them. The program, CUNA CORE, will be held May 24-25, 2016 in Madison, Wis.
“Understanding credit unions can be a daunting task,” says Julie Esser, VP Alliance Development of CUNA Strategic Services. “By educating vendors on how to navigate the marketplace, they will be able to create more value and grow their businesses; and credit unions will gain access to better products and services. This ultimately helps credit unions boost their bottom line, adds to their peace of mind and enhances member relationships.”
One of the biggest barriers vendors continue to face when trying to establish themselves in the credit union industry is its unique culture, which is very different from that of other financial institutions. CUNA CORE allows attendees to lower the learning curve by diving into the credit union movement’s core values.
The CUNA CORE program is designed for:
- Growing companies new to the credit union market seeking industry insights
- International companies looking to serve in the U.S.credit union market
- Established companies seeking guidance and growth for new team members
Attendees can expect to:
- Gain exposure to the credit union movement
- Build relationships with credit union leaders
- Gauge the market for their products and services
- Develop an understanding of credit union culture, core values and market needs
- Establish a credit union market strategy
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to tour Credit Union National Association’s (CUNA) credit union campus and ask credit union leaders about market needs.
