The CU Scoop - BarCamp Potential (Ep. 5)
Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:
BarCampBankNewEngland
BarCampBankNewEngland was held on April 5th, 2008 in New Hampshire. There was a ton of really great coverage was posted online for those who couldn’t attend to check out. BarCampBankNewEngland was held at the America’s Credit Union Museum. See? BarCampBanks aren’t JUST for banks at all!
BarCampBankDallas
Speaking of BarCampBanks, we’re going to hold a BarCampBankDallas on June 21-22 in the Dallas area. We encourage all credit union people who want to attend to come be a part of BarCampBankDallas! BanktasticTV’s very own Brad Garland & Mark McSpadden will be in attendance! It’s going to be great, and we hope to see you there!
Christian Mullins’ Blog
Mark stumbled across Christian Mullins’ blog, which will soon be the CU Potential website. Christian currently keeps his readers up-to-date with information that you’d be pressed to find anywhere else. He keeps daily tabs on news including information on crimes related to CUs. We highly suggest you keep an eye on his blog, and while you’re at it, check out his 4-part series on the anatomy of a merger.

Hey Mark! Thanks for giving the shout out for BCBNewEngland (yes, we could have called it BarCampCreditUnion NewEngland, but that doesn’t flow, nor pay tribute to the inaugural Paris and Seattle events). I didn’t think any bankers would show up to America’s Credit Union Museum. Oh well, their loss.
Anyway, I hope to see you in Dallas for BCBDallas and learn more about what’s shaking in your neck of the woods! Indeed, Christian was a font of knowledge, and it was great making the connection with him. That’s the great thing about Camps in general; you never know who is going to show up, but everyone who does is fantastic in their own right.
