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

Age Is Just a Number
An issue arose in the online credit union world when Trey Reeme was misquoted in the CU Times as saying, “60-plus-year old directors looking at the industry’s future should seriously consider stepping down to make way for a generation more connected to new technology.” (I’m not even going to link to the original article, here’s Trey’s take. You can get to the original from there.)

Of course Trey didn’t say that at all, but a great conversation about ages & trends in credit unions came of all of this. You can find the base of the conversation in the comments at Ron Shevlin’s Blog and there are other links within that thread that are worth checking out. (Also worth noting, Ron has a classy apology to Trey that is worth a read as well.)
