ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
The need for credit union financial training has grown far beyond the chief financial officer. The environment in which credit union managers operate continues to become more complex as credit unions are faced with more competition from traditional financial institutions, as well as nontraditional organizations offering financial services. For credit unions to survive and flourish in a robust business environment, sound business practices must be followed. Now, more than ever, credit union professionals need the value of financial training. Volunteers, executives, and managers are now being asked to make critical decisions based on their financial knowledge. Do you understand your credit unions numbers?

This event is in conjunction with the CUNA CFO Council.

This webinar is a part of the CUNA CU Finance for Non-Financial Managers & Volunteers eSchool which starts August 18, 2010. Click here for more information
