Small Credit Union Success Strategies 

Tom Sakash, CUNA

During this session, you will hear case studies of small credit unions that have found tremendous success in focusing on a narrow target market. The most common denominator among successful small credit unions nationwide is having a clearly defined niche and reshaping your organization around serving that niche better than any other financial services provider. Learn how numerous credit unions have executed this strategy and are now thriving organizations that have big plans for a sustainable future.
