WASHINGTON-CUNA is moving its Future Forum to summertime to bemore family-friendly and coordinate better with credit unionbusiness cycles. CUNA has scheduled its 2006 Future Forum for June11-14 at the J.W. Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes. Traditionally, ithad been held in September or October. CUNA President and CEO DanMica explained that the change made sense for a couple of reasons.Based on input from credit unions, the June date works better forthe credit union business year since it is earlier in the budgetcycle. Secondly, the change makes it easier to bring their familieswith them. "For several years now, credit union representativeshave urged us to change the date so that more of their familymembers could join them in the outstanding locations of the FutureForum," Mica said. "This year, with the event being held in Orlando- the home of so many fine family-oriented venues - we felt thatthe time was right to make a change." The CUNA Annual GeneralMeeting will no longer be associated with the Future Forum. It willbe held separately, at a date and time to be announced later thisfall. The decision to change the Future Forum date to June was madein September and announced to Future Forum participants at themeeting in San Francisco in the "Daily News Tuesday" distributed atthe conference. The decision on when and where to hold the AGM weremade more recently.
