to Drive Change

If Paul Revere could have harnessed the power of Web 2.0., the folks in Lexington and Concord and everywhere else could have heeded his warning, with ample time left to strategize the attack. Revolutionary Web 2.0 is the extra firepower in your credit union’s online presence and interactive member outreach.

Chip Filson observed today that, “navigating the broader economic and regulatory changes now underway will shape the movement well into the next generation.” Today’s technology can help you jump into the game, interact with like-minded peers, and reframe the conversation around key issues, like the NCUA conservatorship action.

Interested in harnessing the web to influence your future? Click here to join the hundreds of credit unions that are already active in the game and you’ll be the first to learn of a new collective action endeavor your peers are launching in just a few days.

Technology. Friend or foe? Clearly friend.

While we’ve got you thinking technology, receive a complimentary Technology Guide for completing the 2009 technology survey. And then read why your credit union shouldn’t pull back on technology during this turbulent time!
