Dear Editor,

I am responding to Gigi Hyland's comment letter on the Final Four Championship Matches of credit union leaders, which read as follows:

"What is it about our society and the fascination of pitting people against one another or reality TV, for that matter? Many, though not all, of the leaders mentioned are known as leaders because they are true collaborators and cooperators. They believe that cooperation doesn't mean competition. It means collaboration. I wish CU Times had demonstrated how these leaders, working synergistically, have brought the credit union system to where it is today."
