Credit Union Info, Inc., is pleased to announce the debut of its unique online advisory service — Credit Union Retired Executives (CURE), at www.CURetiredExecs.com — a secure, virtual network of retired credit union executives who are volunteering their time and expertise to support those working today on the front lines of the credit union industry. The first of its kind, this new website is the only place to go 24/7 for confidential advice — free of charge, thanks to the website's Supporters — about the many operational issues facing credit unions today.

Holly Herman, Executive Director, stated, “Experience matters! We've assembled an incredible team of Advisors, retired credit union executives with an unmatched depth and breadth of experience — experience that has gone largely untapped until now. We also have an exceptional group of Supporters from around the industry, who are making it all possible.”

During just its first month of operation, the CURE Online Advisory Service has had over 500 unique visitors. Of those professionals who've registered to use this free service to ask questions, more than a third are CEOs; the others are senior executives working in credit unions of all sizes across the nation.

Herman stated, “We're happy and proud of our strong showing during what has been only our first month of operation, and look forward to expanding awareness and usage of CURE among credit union professionals everywhere.”

Juri Valdov, a founding Advisor and former President/CEO of Northwest Federal Credit Union, added, “It's exciting to be part of this groundbreaking service to credit union professionals, especially now, during this unprecedented economic crisis, when we can offer practical advice and timely solutions that support the credit union mission.”

Getting started is easy. Visit www.CURetiredExecs.com, register, and ask your first question. Visitors have their choice of advisors with expertise in a wide variety of areas, and are assured total confidentiality — and a customized answer within 3 business days, offering suggested solutions, recommended alternatives, and new perspectives on the question at hand.

Herman added, “In these especially difficult times for all of us, we're confident that this service will prove invaluable in tackling and overcoming the challenges of the day, to ensure that credit unions everywhere can continue to offer the best in financial services to their members.”
