No worries Jim, I mean Gene. I love that you love the passion.
You get it and you rock!

Gene… I hope you come back next October as we need your passion. Also, we want the event to be driven by the participants so if anyone out there has ideas for topics, speakers, format, etc… we welcome them. We want to make the 08 version even better. Matt is right, the conversation is ongoing and we are honored to be a part of it.

Matt – thanks for the note to change Dianne to Denise. But you know it is too late, she probably saw it and I am a marked man.

Ron – you see great minds do think alike!

And I think it’s up to us, as the passionate ones, to keep each other motivating in our quest (as Jeff Hardin would say) to make credit unions the “worst kept secret” in the financial services world.

Thank you, Gene, for your passion – you are definitely a powerful influence.

Gene, It’s the passion for serving others that you and other credit union leaders have that keep me going! I greatly appreciated our conversation yesterday.

An old proverb says “may you live in interesting times.” And these are definitely interesting times for credit unions.

An exploration of the idea that less could in fact be more will run in the soon-to-mail November issue of CUES’ magazine, p. 14. The article gives examples of credit unions that are staying focused on the things they have chosen to do best–rather than trying to be everything to everyone. CU blogger extraordinaire, Denise Wymore, also is quoted in the article.

If you don’t get a print copy, you can find it on line at cumanagement.org; it should be up by Nov. 1.

Gene, I’m having a print copy sent to you!

Gene –

I couldn’t agree more. I left Indy thinking that the up-and-comers who participated at the Symposium have a great opportunity to shake things up in some very real and dramatic ways.

Awesome post!

Gene, quick — change “Dianne” to “Denise” before she sees it!

And I agree completely — I was surprised at how much passion I felt from the attendees and speakers. I think another difference is that the conference hasn’t ended — the conversation carries on.
