CONVENTION
Every year credit union volunteers, officials, CEOs and guests from New Hampshire come together for the state’s largest credit union gathering. The reasons that this convention draws so many attendees are almost as varied as the people who attend.
A key attraction of this three-day event is the educational programming, which ranges from legal and regulatory compliance to strategic environmental analysis to new technology. An extensive trade show compliments the educational effort by showcasing the latest products and services that credit unions can employ to better serve their members. One of the most important benefits provided by the convention is the chance to meet with and enjoy the company of many people who share a commitment to the important work that credit unions do. The shared insights and creative discussions, sparked by common goals and friendship, make the convention a unique and wonderful event.
2008 Annual Meeting and Convention
Credit unions...building financial futures for 100 years
Join the New Hampshire Credit Union League in a celebration that was a hundred years in the making ... the “100th Anniversary of Credit Unions - Building Financial Futures.” The League will honor the credit union movement in style with many surprises at the New Hampshire Annual Meeting and Convention, June 6-8, 2008, at the historic Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH. Much has changed in the world of credit unions since the first doors opened at St. Mary’s Bank Credit Union in Manchester in November 1908, but the guiding principle behind their existence still lives and will continue for the next 100 years, and that is “People Helping People.” A special line up of speakers promises an informative educational program on Friday.
The first educational program features Terry Costin from the Credit Union National Association. Terry will present a program titled “Emerging Credit Unions: Taking Advantage of Available Resources.” Credit union management needs to be all things to all people and time is an essential piece to being all things. Time is one that most say they “never have enough of.” Terry will help you make the most of time by selecting the right products and services available to credit unions of all asset sizes.
A second breakout session will feature Professor John Romps from St. Anselm College. Professor Romps’ presentation will focus on the impact of the credit crunch and the probable recession on the mortgage market in Northern New England. He will also give a brief discussion of the similarities and differences in the economy of 1908, the year of the birth of the first credit union in New Hampshire and the U.S., and 2008.
The final general session of the day titled “You Are Never Too Old to Reach the Summit,” will be led by Lois Kitsch from the National Credit Union Foundation. Join Lois on her journey through ancient Asia, the desserts of Afghanistan and the summit of Kilimanjaro. Using her experiences, decide how you too will cherish the past, live in the present, and plan for an amazing future.
Friday evening will feature special entertainment following dinner performed by Cil Bee. At 9:30 p.m. a special 100th Anniversary Fireworks display can be seen from the back veranda.
The League encourages all credit unions to participate in the governance of their League by attending the Business Meeting early this year at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 7.
Special guest events will also be held throughout the weekend.
Convention Registration brochures have been mailed. Don’t miss out on this historic event as we celebrate the past, live in the present, and build for the future.
