MIDLAND, MI (June 11, 2013) Dow Chemical Employees’ Credit Union Remote Electronic Delivery Systems Manager Susan Valley recently participated in a panel discussion as a part of the THINK 13 Conference hosted by CO-OP Financial Services. The conference took place earlier this spring in Chicago.
The annual THINK Conference is an event for credit union leaders that aims to put a fresh perspective on the challenges and opportunities credit unions face every day. This year’s theme was “Disrupt business as usual,” which focused on how credit union leaders can innovate and inspire each other to think outside the box.
One of the main ideas of the panel in which Valley participated was welcoming business disruptions – especially technology – as a spark for change. Valley was one of only three panelists chosen to be a part of the panel, which was a part of the “Change Workshop” and looked at ways to harness business disruptions and translate them into opportunities.
“Participating in this panel allowed me to be involved in a conversation about how credit unions can stay ahead of the curve, prepare for and adapt to change, and keep innovating,” Valley said. “I really enjoy keeping up with industry trends and learning how to apply them here at DCECU.”
DCECU encourages its employees to participate in conferences and other career development opportunities in order to stay on top of trends in the credit union industry.
“We congratulate Susan for being chosen to participate in this important panel discussion,” said DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson. “It’s great for DCECU to be involved in industry innovation and collaboration on a national level.”
