Even though the day was busier (and really awesome) than most, this will be a shorter summary than previous posts. Let me do it a little different…announcer style (with whatever voice in your head fits).
(drum roll)
Presenting…The Future.
In the future, the Canadian credit union system has a smooth and efficient payments ecosystem through the, Australian styled, cooperatively owned – perhaps even with non-cooperatives – PayCo!
Young and old love it (actually they probably don’t notice it, because it’s taken for granted that fast, efficient, easy-to-use, globally connected payments work)!
In the future, young leaders have transformed the system by building:
- data insights (Adam Thome, Affinity)
- people improvement processes (Steve Marquis, Copperfin)
- change and project management systems (Amie Warkentin, North Peace Savings)
- credit evaluation excellence (Tara Vande Pol, Valley First)
- deep community relationships (Richard Lange, Servus)
In the future, the credit union is better for the world because of living wage, B-corps,a nd social responsible investment innovations (first presentation).
In the future, impact investing is available everywhere at a retail level (second presentation).
In the future, everyone sings karaoke!
