The Road Ahead—an Economic Outlook
Catherine Putney, Economist, ITR Economics™
According to ITR Economics, maintaining 2018’s growth will be a challenge for some companies; the successful ones will be those that utilize internal drivers, rather than simply riding on economic tailwinds.
We’ll start this session with an exploration of current leading economic indicators such as tariffs, taxes, consumer trends, interest rates, housing, and employment, to offer insight into what’s to come. Then, Catherine will offer economics tools you can use once you return home, giving you an upper hand in the coming years.

The State of Credit Union Governance 2020: Understanding the Key Governance Issues
Facing Credit Unions Today
Michael G. Daigneault, CEO and Cofounder, Quantum Governance, L3C
You won’t want to miss this session to learn how your credit union’s board, CEO and management team can benefit from the insights that will come from The State of Credit Union Governance 2020 report!
In 2018, Quantum Governance, in partnership with CUES, released The State of Credit Union Governance: Five Data-Driven Recommendations for Future Success. This ground-breaking report shed light on key findings from across the credit union industry and provided actionable recommendations to help credit union board members, supervisory/audit committee members, and CEOs strengthen their governance policies, practices and procedures.
This year, Quantum Governance and CUES are partnering with the researchers at the David & Sharon Johnston Centre for Corporate Governance Innovation, Rotman School of Management, at the University of Toronto, to issue The State of Credit Union Governance 2020. With updates to the 2018 data and in looking beyond its findings, the 2020 report will explore additional topics of diversity in the boardroom, succession planning, effective board meetings and more.
The 2020 report will be released just weeks before we meet at Execu/Summit. Michael, one of the report’s lead authors, will lead us through a discussion of the report’s key findings.

CEO and Board Succession Planning: Securing the Future
C. Alan Peppers, Owner/Advisor, CAP Advisory Services
Leadership continuity is a key success factor for any organization. Forward-thinking boards create comprehensive succession policies at the executive and board levels critical for guiding recruitment and selection of the leadership expertise required to lead the credit union.
CEO succession guidelines provide the board of directors a process that may be used for an orderly, seamless, and successful transition to minimize any disruption to the credit union. Board succession guidelines provide the roadmap for identifying, recruiting and selecting new board members and board leadership that secures the continuity of board governance. This interactive session will cover the four steps of the CEO succession planning process, as well as cover the basics of board succession guidelines.
