Board Succession Planning is more important than ever, as credit unions look to address diversity and renewal of talent in their ranks. A liaison to the board can help create a well-documented environment that fosters smooth succession and transitions as well as promotes the good governance practices for this process. 

Join us as we discuss practices to help modernize this practice and red flags to avoid getting stuck in the search process.

This included conferences and training events, webinars, print programs, and online courses, among others. During his tenure at CUNA, he created and brought several new programs to the credit union movement.

He also created the CUNA Training On Demand series of downloadable training courses, and the CUNA Pressing Economic Issues series featuring the CUNA economists.

This included participation in an IDEO design program.
