I consider CUES Symposium a must-attend event—I’ve attended with my board chair annually since 2013. We both find the experience to be invaluable; it helps us work in synergy throughout the year, and the knowledge we acquire proves to be a tremendous benefit to our credit union. This event also offers a real sense of camaraderie; we greatly enjoy collaborating and networking with the other CEO/board chair teams.
