How can you put a dollar value on the invaluable? When you’re a member of the Cornerstone Councils Program, you’ll benefit from invaluable opportunities for educational growth, peer-to-peer networking, relationship building, and operations knowledge—to name a few, as well as:

Complimentary or low-cost educational webinars specific to your role.
Discount registration to attend council conferences.

Torrance Harris, chief operations officer for United Community Credit Union, is a member of the Lending and Collections Council and says being a member presents great resources for accessing a wealth of information.

“The Southwest Lending and Collections Conference brings together individuals at all stages of lending and collection; it’s great for making connections with like-minded industry professionals,” Harris said. “The content is always relevant to what’s going on in the industry, and it’s priced to fit even the most modest budget. The information I’ve received from attending the Southwest Lending and Collections Conference has been extremely valuable, but the connections I’ve made can’t be quantified.”

Cornerstone’s Councils Program also offers a convenient online forum where you can discuss solutions to your latest dilemma, get suggestions for accomplishing a new process efficiently, share best practices for policies and procedures, and test your latest ideas with your credit union community.

“Sometimes things come up in your credit union that you don’t see often or have never experienced, and you aren’t quite sure how to handle it,” said Harris. “The forums are a great way to get feedback. I’ve asked questions related to policies, procedures, compliance, and anything else I could think of, and I always get a helpful response.”

With nine career-specific councils to choose from, you and/or your staff can connect to some of the movement’s brightest, most inquisitive, and collaborative minds.
