Big Changes Affecting Strategy, Structure, Governance, and Leadership
Credit unions are bound by their strategy, structure, governance, and leadership decisions, but should past decisions concerning these critical areas be relied on in the years ahead? Perhaps, but some decisions and resulting operating methodologies will likely not align with the four most important, emerging trends affecting credit unions: environmentally-derived strategy … strategy-infused organizational structure … principles-based governance … and character-driven leadership. In this session, Tom Glatt, Jr. will dive deep into each of these four trends, showcasing how they will greatly reshape credit unions and help your leadership team prepare for the future ahead.

A Winning Perspective Gets the Gold: Keynote Address with Olympic Great,
Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Named by Sports Illustrated as “The Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century,” Jackie Joyner Kersee will deliver the keynote address to open the 47th CU Leadership Convention. Join us as she discusses how her relentless pursuit of excellence on and off the track has led her to give back to her community. Coming from very humble beginnings in East St. Louis, Illinois, Jackie Joyner-Kersee is among the all-time greatest athletes ever to compete in Track & Field. Jackie has won three Olympic Gold Medals, one Olympic Silver Medal, and two Olympic Bronze Medals at four different Olympic Games. Less well known, however, are Jackie’s tireless efforts and remarkable accomplishments off the field as a philanthropist and an advocate for children’s education, health issues (in particular asthma from which she has suffered throughout her life), racial equality, social reform, and women’s rights. Never one to be classified as merely an athlete, Jackie says, “I strive to be a Jackie of all trades.”
