Hyland & Hampel…
It isn’t everyday that credit union employees in Montana get to hear both a NCUA board member and a CUNA Sr. Vice President. Hyland focused her time on the corporate credit union stabilization while Hampel centered his “talk” on the economic situation. I have to say, it seems that all we hear and read (or say, do, and publish) these days is something negative about the situation that we find ourselves in as a people. With that said, both Hyland and Hampel were a breathe of fresh air, sent to refresh our faith in our country, our economy, and our industry.
The central message: We’re all in this together.
Ms. Hyland at one point questioned the philosophical strength of the credit union movement by pondering why credit unions wouldn’t want to actively prop up their peers.
Mr. Hampel wanted attendees to remember that even with 10% of Americans unemployed, 90% are still in their jobs. When our delinquency rates go to 2%, 98% of our loans are being paid on-time!
Kudos to the staff at the Montana Credit Union Network for their hard work in bring such high caliber speakers to our Annual Meeting! And remember, “this to will come to pass”.
