CUNA HR/TD Council
February 2, 2010 | COMMENTS

Registration and conference information is now available for the upcoming 16th annual CUNA HR/TD Council Conference. The largest credit union-specific conference for human resources and training and development executives is to be held April 11-14, 2010 in Orlando, Fla. at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes.

General sessions include an economics update by Mike Schenk, vice president of economics at Credit Union National Association (CUNA), a session entitled “'Heading Towards Virtual': The Concept Of Personal Bankers” by Tony Ward Smith, president, Ward & Company: Performance Counsel to Credit Unions, and leadership sessions from Kirk Weisler and Dave Timmons.

“In today's fast paced economy, time is of the essence when planning strategies for success,” said Jennifer Morse, vice president, human resources at Empower FCU in Syracuse, N.Y. and chair of the CUNA HR/TD Council. “Credit unions must invest in the potential of every employee and this year's conference will help credit unions succeed by strengthening their most important asset: people.”

Attendees at the conference can earn up to 15 recertification hours toward their PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through HCRI (Human Resource Certification Institute). 3 certification credits are offered to attendees of the pre-conference workshop and 12 to those attending general sessions and breakouts.

The agenda for the conference is created by the CUNA HR/TD Council conference committee (in partnership with council staff) made up of volunteer council members from credit unions. This ensures the topics are as relevant to attendees as possible.

Additional topics include:

• An introduction to social media for human resources
• General employment law update for 2010
• Business continuity
• Team building and coaching workshops
• Compensation trends
