Please make plans to join us for our 150th and final CU Town Hall on Wednesday December 2 at 3pm ET/Noon PT. These lively, interactive sessions began in the early days of pandemic lockdowns to help credit union leaders navigate an unprecedented set of challenges. The hour-long meetings have since morphed to address a variety of challenges in our ever-changing landscape. Good things come to an end, but we’re planning something special for the sign-off. It’s free to attend, but advance registration is required: https://www.cutownhall.com/
