LAS CROABAS, Puerto Rico – Over 200 attendees from across the country gathered here June 27-30 to attend the CUES Annual Convention: Marketing and Technology at the Wyndham El Conquistador Resort & Country Club while celebrating CUES' 40th Anniversary. Given the constant full court press from the competition, board members here hope to return to their credit unions with creative solutions to such challenges as discovering how to really meet the needs of both the members and credit union employees of the future. Topics covered during the three-day conference ran the gamut from "Reaching the International Market" and "Progressive Board Practices" to "Better Carrots, Better Compensation: Creative Solutions for Executive Recruitment and Retention." Here's a quick glimpse at what board directors were up to during the four-day conference.
