CEO Succession Planning Trends – A Board Discussion

Tuesday, July 30, 2023 : 2:00 PM CST

41% of CEOs are planning to retire within the next 5 years and candidate pipelines are limited with 2.4 job openings per unemployed person in the financial services industry as of April 2023. Without proper succession plans for these inevitable executive retirements, credit union boards put their organization at risk for many adverse effects including loss of expertise and organizational knowledge, unexpected leadership gaps, damaged member relationships and trust, and an inability to achieve their mission. To avoid these risks and set your credit union up for success, it is vital that both the board and current CEO work together to tackle the monumental task that is a succession plan development.

Join our Credit Union experts as they discuss:

  • Defining Succession Plans
  • Components of a Successful Succession Plan
  • Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
  • Succession Planning Best Practices

The Performance Review May Be on Life Support

Wednesday, May 3, 2023 : 2:00 PM CST

In the post-Covid world, credit unions know they need to get back to a more formal performance evaluation process, but a lot has changed – even what to measure and the frequency of reviews are being debated. Omni-delivery channels are also adding confusion as to who we should recognize (or blame). The consensus is that conversations take precedence over scores, and streamlining documentation is desired. Please join us on May 3, 2023, at 2 pm CST for a free webinar as we discuss the renewed commitment to results, culture and continuous learning taking center stage. The Webinar will highlight the following areas:


Specific topics include:

  • The evolution (devolution) of the performance appraisal – where do we stand now
  • Disruptions need Disruptors: Core competencies will never die
  • Merit increases and performance review integration
  • New rating scales to ensure the score is not the only prize
  • Promoting conversations, not hall monitoring

Our 21st Anniversary Edition

2023 Compensation Budget Preparation:
There’s No Room for Error
Thursday, June 16, 2022 : 1:00 PM CST

We’re starting earlier than ever to facilitate a pre-budget preparation discussion. In 2022, employee compensation was all about a perfect storm of supply/demand and inflation. Even cutting through the current media clutter surrounding bold hourly rate increases and The Great Resignation, it’s hard to see a scenario where overall compensation budgets won’t increase in 2023. So it’s all about where to make the best reward and recognition investments. Please join us on June 16, 2022, at 1 pm CST for a free webinar to discuss how to analyze your annual compensation plan through three critical perspectives:

  • For the credit union, “what outcomes do we need?
  • For employees, “what do they value?”
  • For the external market, “what are our competitors doing?”

We will discuss strategies to ensure the best return on your compensation budgets. Specific topics include:

  • Rethinking the utility of salary ranges (why do we always lag the market?)
  • Refocusing on the needs of the critical workforce
  • Aligning market pricing frequency with the budgeting process
  • Early 2023 merit increase budget projections
