Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:

CU Potential and KVFCU Merger Mark has covered the KVFCU merger on past episodes of The CU Scoop, but he wanted to let you in on the coverage on the CU Potential blog. Christian Mullins is doing a great job writing about the merger process, so check out his blog for more info about KVFCU.

Open Source CU on Credit Unions and the Economy Brent Dixon recently posted on the Open Source CU blog about how credit unions are getting a lot of positive attention in the news lately as the economic crisis continues to trouble banks. He shares some news snapshots from news stories that feature a lot of CU love, and asks how credit unions should respond to the positive attention. Check out the blog to get in on the conversation.

The Ask Jack Blog Members Credit Union has launched an “Ask Jack” blog, where their CEO, Jack Braswell, will basically ask questions submitted by members of their credit union. They do a lot of video on the blog, which you know we love. :) Mark thinks this is a great way to communicate with your CU’s members, so go and check out the Ask Jack blog now!

Making Boring Stuff Fun! Lisa Hochgraf posts on the CUES Skybox blog about how to teach members about important (yet, boring) things about credit unions through the use of fun. She points out the unique way that Larissa Walkiw and Common Wealth CU made learning about the difference between banks and credit unions fun. Lisa asks for other examples of teaching members about your products and services that are fun. Get in on the conversation here.
