Publisher's Notebook

As the new publisher of Credit Union Times, I am now responsible for the Publisher’s Notebook in which I will have the ability to offer views on topics of interest. I confess this is a little daunting as I have spent my publishing career on the business side of the table. Now I have to come up with something insightful…in print…for the world to see.

For those of you who might have missed our recent awards reception at GAC, the “social event of the season,” we used the occasion to recognize the best the credit union community had to offer. We were pleased to present awards to Tom Glatt, CEO of the Year; Matthew Kaudy, Marketing Executive of the Year; Jim Morrell, IT Executive of the Year; Allen Cooper, Volunteer of the Year; Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Outstanding Political Action Award; and Wescom Credit Union for Outstanding Service to the Underserved Award. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our honorees and candidates for taking the time to submit recommendations for consideration. Selecting the winners was a daunting task for our editorial team.
