Registration open for Growth & Engagement Conference

Experience Innovation at former Marketing & Business Development Conference

If you’re responsible for marketing and business growth within your credit union, then this is the conference for you. Register now for Cornerstone Credit Union League’s 2019 Growth & Engagement Conference (formerly the Marketing & Business Development Conference), Nov. 4 – 6, in Allen, Texas.

By attending, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Innovate your marketing and business development;
• Network with the best and the brightest in credit union marketing and business development;
• Discover the hottest trends, new ideas, and fresh perspectives from industry experts, as well as your peers; and
• Identify products at the vendor fair that could make your job easier.

Did you know that 90% of face-to-face communication is nonverbal, making the body’s silent messages often more revealing than the spoken word? In the opening session “Actions Speak Louder than Words: Understanding Nonverbal Communication,” body language expert Jan Hargrave will help you improve your communication skills by teaching you to:

• Master the art of making a positive first impression;
• Deliver effective gestures for successful interactions;
• Develop nonverbal competencies to communicate your ideas in a positive and professional manner;
• Detect the gestures and "micro-expressions" of deception and secretiveness;
• Understand actions that help establish rapport and enhance your leadership abilities; and
• Identify disconnection gestures and recognize verbal objections before they are expressed.
