BOISE, Idaho/SEATAC, Wash.—The Northwest Credit Union Association and the Idaho Credit Union League reported they are working together on a video conferencing initiative that will allow member credit unions to meet with colleagues, share experiences, and create value-added forums for change and talent development.
Starting in August, the Regional Marketing, Business Development & Community Outreach Councils of the Northwest Credit Union Association and Idaho Credit Union League will meet via video conference. Council members from Idaho, Washington and Oregon will have the opportunity to engage in robust discussions within a larger group setting. The Compliance Council will debut in September, and the two Councils repeat in October and December.
“We’ve been looking for a way to enhance the networking experience for Idaho’s credit unions and believe we’ve found it through collaboration with the Northwest Credit Union Association and their Councils Program,” said Kathy Thomson, president/CEO of Idaho Credit Union League, in a statement. “Using recently purchased video-link equipment housed in Pocatello, Boise and Lewiston, Idaho credit unions will soon be able to tie into Compliance and Marketing Council meetings with credit unions in Washington and Oregon, thus expanding their reach and experience. We’re very excited about these initial offerings and will likely be adding networking opportunities for even more council groups at the beginning of next year.”
