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.

The rate cut – the Fed’s first since late 2024 – lowers the Fed’s benchmark interest rate to a range of 4% to 4.25%. Officials signaled the possibility of two more rate cuts this year. Typically, the Fed hikes rates or keeps them steady to tame inflation. The central bank lowers rates to juice the economy. While the Fed previously held back on rate cuts due to inflation concerns, a series of disappointing jobs reports showed a weakening labor market. While there are signs that tariffs are starting to show up in consumer prices, Powell previously said a “reasonable base case” is that tariffs spur a one-time price shift rather than a more persistent inflationary effect. "Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. Inflation has moved up ...
