Kirk Drake will be in Clearwater Beach, FL


The National Council of Firefighter Credit Unions Inc (NCOFCU)  is thrilled to announce that this year’s closing session at Clearwater Beach, Florida conference, October 1 – 4, will feature, speaker, author, and presenter Kirk Drake! Kirk has been helping credit unions climb mountains for nearly two decades. As the President/CEO of Ongoing Operations and founder of Credit Union 2.0, he has provided credit unions with the tools, playbook, and strategies they need to excite their members and scale the summit to the top of the field. Most recently, he was a keynote speaker at the CU Leadership Convention in Las Vegas! But you don’t have to travel far to take advantage of his know-how, because this year, we are bringing Kirk to Florida!

What can you expect from Kirk Drake? Well, in recent decades, credit unions have seen unprecedented threats, due in large part to an eighty-year-old business model and an inability to adapt quickly to a digital economy. But, Kirk has devised a powerful plan to revitalize these noble institutions, making them more competitive, more creative, more connected with their membership, and more in tune with the times. It's time to be innovative and bold, to challenge long-standing inefficiencies and move away from the "old school" methods of doing business. CU 2.0 provides the skills, the savvy, and the fresh ideas necessary to finally transport the credit union out of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.

Be prepared to be wowed as Kirk combines digital strategies, marketing, communications, and technical know-how to help credit unions rise to their peak in the digital age. A lifelong entrepreneur, he has created and founded 8 successful businesses, starting with his first venture, founding a high school bank. It was through this process that he first learned about the “unfair” advantage credit unions have over banks! Since then, Kirk has been inventing ways to support credit unions. Now, he’s coming to our event to share that incredible knowledge and insight. Do not miss this opportunity to hear from an industry leader and game-changer!

Why Avoiding "I" in Marketing Presentations Matters

  Grant Sheehan, CCUE | CCUP | CEO NCOFCU  You know how things just stick with you? Well, many years ago, my marketing professor started off his class with the following, and it has never left me.  The Power of Perspective: Why Avoiding "I" in Marketing Presentations Matters In the world of marketing, effective communication is paramount. One valuable piece of advice that often comes from experienced instructors and industry veterans is the importance of avoiding the use of the word “I” in presentations and reports.

Open Banking To Hit $94B By 2029—But U.S. Lags Amid Global Surge

NEW YORK—By 2029, open banking is projected to surge globally to a staggering $94.14 billion in value. Yet despite its rapid evolution and expanding global footprint, adoption remains uneven—hindered by inconsistent regulatory frameworks across countries. According to GlobalData, this disparity poses a key challenge for the sector’s success, with the U.S. notably trailing behind global peers in embracing open banking.
