Chairman's Letter - National Coalition of Firefighters Credit Unions Inc.


Dear Firefighter Credit Unions,
Michael ToblerThe Boston convention in October is now only a few months away. As I look back at last year’s Long Beach convention I reflect on the reasons why it was important to attend. Besides seeing and exchanging ideas with close colleagues I was inspired to bring back to my credit union the ideas and experiences that have worked for other credit unions. I was able to connect with vendors that offer services that we have been looking for. But above all I was with firefighters that share a common bond beyond the credit union.
This year’s convention is looking to be one that will meet the educational and inspirational requirements that we have enjoyed in the past. The featured speakers that we’ve selected Louis Hernandez, CEO of Avid Technology Inc., will speak about the unique value and impact on our financial institutions. Buddy Gill advisor to Debbie Matz will be speaking as well as Steven Rick, Senior Economist for CUNA & Affiliates. I look forward to learning something from each of them. There will be round table discussions as well as political and nationally known speakers. There is truly something for everyone from veteran leaders and board members to family and our young professionals willing to move ahead. To complete the experience we will also have a golf outing and two tour packages.
I need to thank the Board and Staff for all the hard work they have been doing, from phone calls and planning sessions to meeting in person. The time from work and family is a true dedication.
The best is saved for last; the Boston Firefighters Credit Union lead by Bernie Winne has set in motion the entire convention from hotel to speakers. A highlight will certainly be an evening at the Boston Firefighter Union Hall for dinner and live Irish music from the Fenian Sons.
So will you join us at the Boston Convention? It is going to be an amazing event…and it won’t be the same without you.
Michael R. Tobler
Chairman of the Board

Let the Truth be Told - Why a New NCUA Rule Could Jolt Credit Union Innovation

The National Credit Union Administration has finalized a rule to improve board and executive succession planning within the credit union industry. This strategic move aims to curb the trend of mergers driven by technological stagnation and poor succession strategies, ensuring more credit unions maintain their independence and enhance their technological capabilities. By Ken McCarthy, Manager of marketing communications at Tyfone Credit unions are merging out of existence because of an inability to invest in technology, the National Credit Union Administration Board wrote when introducing its now finalized rule on board succession planning. The regulator now requires credit unions to establish succession planning for critical positions in their organizations. But it’s likely to have even wider effects, such as preserving more independent charters and shaking up the perspectives of those on credit union boards. “Voluntary mergers can be used to create economies of scale to offer more or ...
