Join us to explore credit unions’ role in improving people’s financial well-being. Now in its seventh year, brings industry leaders together to examine how credit unions are measuring financial health, working to strengthen it, and documenting and sharing the results. Attendees will discuss multi-sector solutions to address the drivers of financial well-being, explore strategies for engaging new partners, understand how to leverage technology to track and improve financial health, and share best practices.

Secure long-term growth and relevance for your community by understanding the needs and financial behaviors of your employees and your members and acting to meet those needs.

Top-level learnings include:
• Commit to financial well-being for all: Develop a project plan to help your credit union fully commit to financial well-being for all as a strategic objective.
• Assess your current landscape: Exploring different ways to get a baseline of how financially healthy your employees and members actually are.
• Plan: Develop a project plan to put your assessment into action across your credit union.
• Act: Hear from your peers and share ideas on how to act upon your commitment, assessment, and plan to produce measurable impact and results.
• Conference Format: In person experiential learning with keynotes, panels, discussions, and workshops with all participants.

Who Should Attend:
Our audience is a diverse cross-section of credit union leaders—including CEOs, board members, VPs/AVPs/Managers of Lending, Operations, and Community Engagement as well as Financial Educators—who work to make consumer financial health and well-being a strategic priority for their credit union.
