The future of credit unions isn’t coming—it’s already taking shape.
On March 18, you are invited to our second annual CU Forward, a high-impact virtual event designed for credit union leaders who want to anticipate change rather than react to it.
In one focused afternoon, you’ll gain practical insight into three powerful forces reshaping the credit union industry—technology that’s redefining security, leadership skills required in constant change, and the policy-driven rise of digital money.
This isn’t theory. It’s a perspective you can use to make smarter decisions—today and tomorrow.

The Adaptive Advantage: Leadership Resilience & Cognitive Agility for a New Era

Stablecoins for Credit Unions: Technology Basics, Policy Shifts, and Strategic Implications
Stablecoins have moved from concept to regulatory priority. Dr. Sean Stein Smith, Associate Professor of Accounting at CUNY–Lehman College, provides a clear, jargon‑free overview of how stablecoins work, how regulators are approaching them, and what credit union leaders should understand as stablecoins influence future payments and governance decisions.
Why attend CU Forward?
Because credit unions with an eye on what’s next—before it arrives—are better positioned to protect their members, strengthen leadership, and make confident strategic decisions in a rapidly changing environment.
