Our second It's a Money Thing video is complete and ready for our subscribers. Jen meets Credit Squirrel and learns about credit scores and why they are important. It's fast-paced and filled with educational tidbits. I'm very proud of this piece and it really sets the tone of what you can expect from our content packs going forward.
For five days in April, over 30 innovators from Filene's prestigious i3 program collaborated with counterparts from Desjardins for inspiration, insights and ideas across Quebec.
Today is an exciting day for us here at Currency! We are launching a new product called It's a Money Thing. This is a collection of effective and affordable financial education content.
I am excited to announce that Larissa Walkiw has joined Currency as a full-time graphic designer and illustrator. You may remember Larissa as our very first Young & Free Alberta Spokester and the creator of the original Difference Between Banks and Credit Unions video series way back in 2008.
It's been nearly four months since my last conference and I am starting to get the shakes! Actually, it's been awesome to have an extended period without travel. All things must come to an end though, as Spring is in the air and so is the busy travel season.
The holiday season is upon us once again and Sandy has brought her yuletide ‘A’ game! May the holiday season bring health, wealth and peace to your credit union and to your home. Make sure to slow down and make this time of year a fun-filled celebration. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your friends at Currency.
Every year, all of our active Young & Free Spokesters get together to produce a meaningful collaboration video. This year's edition is a manifesto about what it's like being young and free and why credit unions are the right choice.
It's been a week since our whirlwind trip to San Diego for the finals of the 4th annual CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec competition. Each year, we build on the last, making the program tighter and more compelling. I am very proud of this competition and our association with CUES. I feel like we've had a real impact on the industry and the lives of our finalists and winners, plus we've had a ton of fun along the way. What more could you ask for?
The five CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec Finalists will be presenting today in San Diego at the CUES' CEO/Executive Team Network™. Each Finalist will have seven minutes to present the progress or planning of their project or the results gained to date to the judging panel, the conference audience and live to the online audience. After the presentations, the judges will submit their completed score sheets and conference attendees will vote for their favorite Finalist on the spot.
I've been working with a Filene i3 team on a project we've called the Great Credit Race. I jumped on board to help with the concept and all of the design and web development work because the topic is near and dear to my heart—helping young people establish credit. There's no shortage of information, advice and tools out there to help you improve your credit score, but there is virtually nothing to help you establish credit quickly and effectively.
