Moving Forward

Vining Sparks' annual Credit Union Forum is geared to assist today's credit union executives and management team as they move forward in our current challenging environment of low interest rates and gradual recovering loan demand.


The seminar will be held on April 28 at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis. This full-day event will equip executives of today's credit union management team to deal with the challenges and opportunities facing them.


The last few quarters have presented mixed signals in terms of economic growth and future interest rate expectations. However, rates remain generally low and loan demand has begun gaining strength in certain parts of the country.

We will explore methods to move forward in this changing environment while simultaneously managing risk and coping with new regulations.

We invite you to come to the Forum and gather valuable ideas while networking with other credit union executives facing the same issues as you.

Monday, April 28: Schedule
Sessions (8:30am-5:00pm) - The Forum will begin early and run until late afternoon with sessions discussing the economy, balance sheet trends and risk management.

Evening (7:00pm) - The evening entertainment will include admission to a Memphis Redbirds' baseball game and a catered dinner in the ball park. Afterwards, you can explore the night life on Beale Street if you desire.

Hotel Information: The Peabody Hotel

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 ...
