Mike, You Hit Many Nails on the Head

Mr. Welch, or shall I say Don Quijote, you out did yourself with your Sept. 14 column. Talk about coming out, you hit several sacred cows this time. Here are some thoughts I have piggybacking on your great observations. * More people should retire from credit union boards than to CU Boards; * Can we stop allowing Marv Umholtz to rant on about freedom of choice in your letters section, make him take out an ad! * Right on with the need for a coordinated PR program to tell the CU difference, over and over again; * Don’t you find it a little odd that since the 1960s CU membership has been approximately one-half of the work force, which is approximately one-half of the U.S. population? What progress? * Does anyone other than your manager of the year care about increasing membership in a manner other than mergers? Happy times. Keep up the good work at Credit Union Times.
