Who should attend? CEO's, CFO's and DirectorsWhen you go to the Doctor, one of the first things to happen is the taking of your Vital Signs. 
Health professionals know that these key Vital Signs provide an immediate picture of your body’s overall health. Monitoring your Vital Signs is an effective way to identify where your health in strong as well as where and when it requires attention. But it must be the right Vital Signs: for example, blood pressure, not hair length, or eye color.

Just like people, Credit Unions have Vital Signs too. These vital signs indicate the overall financial health of the credit union. But, again, it must be the correct group of Vital Signs. Any indicator that is outside the healthy range means credit union health is out of balance which threatens its overall vitality. 

TCT Risk Solutions has developed a robust KFI report that focuses on a set of statistically verified Vital Signs. In the report, any sign that is outside the healthy range is highlighted in either yellow or red. Yellow means the indicator is just outside the range and needs monitoring, while red indicates a significant problem that requires immediate attention. 
Over time these indicators pose a significant risk to the financial health of the credit union. Using the TCT solutions management can bring these indicators back to a healthy level to support the health of their credit union.

All registered attendees will receive a FREE Vital Signs Report

Sunday Reading - What's the point of a consumer electronics show?

  What's the point of a consumer electronics show? Consumer electronics shows are large convention-type events where companies debut new technologies and products. The largest and most notable shows are CES in Las Vegas, a trade show every January, and IFA Berlin, which takes place annually in September. The events have historically introduced novel, cutting-edge products that later became household standards, like HDTVs, VCRs, DVDs, and gaming consoles ( see list ).   Over time, these shows evolved from product showcases ( see last year's coolest gadgets ) into complex industry ecosystems, serving as a meeting ground for startups, multinational technology companies, investors, and the media. Hardware launches, keynote speeches, and...

A Perfect Example - What Makes Credit Unions Different from Banks!

When the government shutdown hit in October and paychecks stopped, thousands of federal employees were left wondering how to make ends meet. Credit unions across the country stepped up—but Keesler Federal Credit Union went above and beyond. No loans, no hassle—just your paycheck Instead of making members apply for emergency loans, Keesler Federal launched its Paycheck Relief Program. Revolutionary in its simplicity, it worked like this: if you were a federal employee with direct deposit at Keesler Federal, your paycheck kept coming—interest-free, fee-free, and stress-free. Each qualified member could receive up to $6,000 per pay period for as long as 90 days. No hoops, no headaches. From October 1 until the shutdown ended, Keesler Federal advanced more than 5,000 paychecks totaling $6.5 million to 1,710 members. For non-members, they even offered zero-interest loans up to $6,500 with a year to pay it back. This proactive approach meant that before the first missed paycheck, Keesler Fed...

Eight Credit Unions Pay $42 Million in Special Dividends to 1.1 Million Members

  By  Jim DuPlessis   | January 05, 2026 at 04:00 PM So far this season, CU Times has tallied 19 credit unions, which have announced $160.3 million in special dividends for members.       Eight more credit unions have reported special dividends, paying their 1.1 million members $42.1 million in December and January. The bulk of the dividends came from Police and Fire Federal Credit Union of Philadelphia and Eastman Credit Union of Kingsport, Tenn., which each announced $16 million in rewards approved by their boards. The late January payout from Eastman ($9.7 billion, 356,492 members) will bring its total special dividends to $225 million since 1998. A news release from the credit union said “the Extraordinary Dividend is never guaranteed, but the strong financial performance of ECU in 2025 enabled the Board of Directors to approve this year’s $16 million payout.” Eastman’s $16 million payout represents about $47 per member and 19 basis points of its averag...

The importance of life insurance for first responders!

Hi, I would like to emphasize the importance of life insurance for first responders, and how American Income Life (AIL) can provide valuable coverage for them. As you know, first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. It's important that they have access to quality life insurance that can provide financial security for their families in the event of a tragedy. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an average of 58,150 firefighter injuries occur annually in the United States. In addition, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reported that 475 firefighters died while on duty between 2006 and 2015. These statistics demonstrate the significant risks and hazards that first responders face while performing their duties. AIL has been a trusted provider of life insurance for first responders for nearly 70 years. They understand the unique risks and challenges that first responders face, and th...

Email and Text Message Etiquette

As we navigate our everyday communications, I want to emphasize the importance of practicing good email and text message etiquette. This enhances clarity and ensures that everyone feels respected and valued in our interactions. Email Etiquette: 1. Use a Clear Subject Line: A subject line that accurately reflects the content of your email will help recipients know what to expect. 2. Greet Appropriately: Start with an appropriate greeting, such as "Dear [Name]", "Hello [Name]," or "Hi [Name], which sets a positive tone. 3. Acknowledge Receipt: If you receive an email that requires a response, action, or information, please acknowledge its receipt. A simple reply confirming that you have received the email helps the sender know their message was received and provides an opportunity to clarify expectations. 4. Be Concise: Keep your emails clear and to the point. Avoid excessive details unless necessary. 5. Professional Language: Use respectful and professional l...

Rethinking Credit Union’s Social Media Strategy During Stressful Situations

By: Daniel Martinez, Social Media Marketing Specialist, PSCU So much has changed in the last few weeks as the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold around the world. Here in the US, many organizations have been forced to quickly adapt to “social distancing,” teleworking, and stay-at-home orders within just a matter of days. Some have even ceased their operations entirely. As the focus on COVID-19 has dominated nearly all news sources, social media has been no exception. In fact, many organizations have been consistently using their social media accounts to share updates and important information about the coronavirus with their followers. For organizations across the country, this has been a significant shift away from their 2020 social media strategies or general marketing efforts. For credit unions, it’s an opportunity to stand out as a trusted and valued resource for not only their members but also for the communities they serve. To achieve this, credit unions will need to ...

No Fooling: Change from CAMEL to CAMELS Goes into Effect April 1

 WASHINGTON—Changes to NCUA’s rating system—to CAMELS from CAMEL—start April 1. Credit unions with examinations beginning on or after April 1 will fall under the new system. The CAMELS system, which stands for Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity, and now, Sensitivity to market risk, was approved by the NCUA board in 2021. CUNA reminded that under the CAMELS rating system: The “S” component addresses sensitivity to market risk and interest rate risk (IRR) governance. It documents a credit union’s market sensitivity level and how the credit union measures, monitors, and manages market sensitivity.  The “L” component evaluation has been modified to only consider available sources of funds and liquidity risk...
