Getting underway

I’ve heard many fine comments about yesterday’s golf tournament, which kicked off this year’s annual conference. It was a beautiful day and the course at Maderas was just spectacular.

During this morning’s Defense Credit Union Summit, the commander of the U.S. Navy’s South West Region, Rear Admiral Len Hering, will give remarks. In addition, we expect to hear some truly inspirational stories of success from our military credit unions.

This afternoon, conference goers will have the opportunity to talk with NCUA Vice Chairman Rodney Hood before moving on to our specialized leadership forums and a conversation with NAFCU President Fred Becker.

The day concludes with our welcome reception in the exhibit hall – a great place to network with your peers and to find out about the best resources available to credit unions. One booth in particular I’d like for you to visit is our NAFCU Pavilion. You can contribute to our time capsule and be a part of our celebration of 100th anniversary of credit unions. In addition, we will hold a raffle for a $100 gift card and a FREE admission to next year’s NAFCU Annual Conference, which will be at National Harbor in Maryland.

Now, I’d like to invite you to share what you think of the conference so far.

One of our members mentioned a baseball game on Friday. I didn't find any information in the brochure or registration form. Is this a last minute addition to the special events?

No organized game on Friday. But I highly recommend a trip to PETCO field. Not only is it a great park, but they have dollar hot dogs all month in July! But don't forget about Bob Newhart on Friday!

The DCUC session was very informative. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about topics specific to military credit unions. As for golf, the 'white' tees would have been a better option (at least for me). The course was beautiful and challenging.
