Unemployment in Credit Unions
In case you’ve been living in a cave, which the credit union industry can be at times, our economy stinks. Just go look at your 401K statement, at least what’s left of it. And this go around, the credit union industry has not been spared. With the massive problems that the credit crunch produced on [...]
Read moreMy GAC 2010 Acceptance Speech
First off, I’d like to thank God, for without Him, nothing is possible. I’d like to thank my family, my wife, and my new son Mason, for being supportive of all of the long hours I had to put in over the week. I’d like to extend a very large thank you to CUNA for putting [...]

Two weeks ago, I got on my little soapbox and wrote about how credit unions and the blogosphere are stuck on inactivity.

It is finally offical. BarCampBankVegas is now on the calendar. In typical BarCamp fashion, it’ll be a day long event on a Saturday. This particular Saturday, May 2nd, is the day before the NACUSO Annual Convention. And in Las Vegas fashion, it will be held from 1PM to 9PM, as nobody is really up in [...]
