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.)

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.

WhatAreYouSavingFor.com
One of Mark’s favorite site launches from April 1st was WhatAreYouSavingFor.com. Started by Members Credit Union based out of North Carolina, WAYSF.com is a great online tool for those with What Are You Saving For? accounts at MCU. They’ve developed a community to help encourage people to continue saving if they run into any speed bumps reaching their goal. It’s a great motivational tool for those trying to save some money.
Banktastic.com
A little bit of self-promotion, but totally necessary. Banktastic relaunched on April 1st with a brand new look as well as a new reviews feature. We’ve made it easier to post news articles and ask questions. The site is quite a bit more user-friendly, so go check it out if you haven’t yet!
