Because I’m a sucker, I bought an iPhone 4. Because I bought an iPhone 4, I hang up on people all the time. It’s embarrassing.
If you know her, you love her. If you don’t know her, you should.
Kelley Parks just launched her new blog today. Please check it out…she’s doing great things for credit unions at her firm, Giraph.
Sometimes it feels like we’re drawing with chalk. You can draw with chalk, don’t get me wrong. It’s a fine medium for certain applications. But make no mistake, that’s definitely what we’re doing.

ABC123 Credit Union is looking for a highly-seasoned Marketing Assistant in its fast-paced, extremely demanding Business Development department. The successful candidate will have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Journalism, Accounting, Economics, or Ornithology with an MBA or PhD highly desirable, as well as 7-10 years of progressively responsible leadership experience in a marketing role. Must possess superior copy-writing, public speaking, creative, interpersonal, and analytical skills. Mastery of SQL, C#, HTML, PHP, MCIF, BSA, OFX, OFAC, and LOL also expected. Demonstrated community involvement is a must, as is proof of successful appointments/elections to state or federal government agencies. Bilingual or trilingual applicants are strongly desired.
There is a reason you keep working for credit unions.
That reason has changed with time, no doubt. But there’s a reason.
Dear Dallas, All Employees of Frito-Lay, Yum Brands, Their Families, and Credit Union Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight.
I read a story today about a woman named La Rosa Carrington, who, stuck in a simultaneous fight with leukemia and unemployment, was informed by Discovery Benefits that her healthcare coverage is being canceled. Her monthly insurance premium, come to find out, had not been paid in full. Rules are rules, I guess. In fact, I’m a pretty big fan of demonstrating consistency in policy application.
Want to fix safety and soundness concerns at credit unions? Want to make member ownership and the democratic process mean more at credit unions? Eliminate the NCUSIF.
Danielle Chatfield-Beres is one of my favorite people in credit unions. As an amazing credit union marketer, Filene i3er, Partnership Symposium attendee, and all around awesome person, seemingly everything she’s ever been involved in has become better as a result. One of my favorite stories about her was a decision not so long ago to leave her position as a rockstar credit union marketer to take a job at another credit union to become…a controller. She had aspirations to be a CEO someday, and that seemed to be the most logical way to position herself to make that happen. I love that.
I’m 5′7″. Unless you’re blue and live in a little mushroom village, that’s not tall. Still, I am almost always cramped and uncomfortable on airplanes. And when the person sitting in front of me reclines his seat (I’m talking about you, Mr. Snoresalot), I have no space at all. I couldn’t imagine how horrible flying would be if I had eaten more vegetables as a child.
