2020 Iowa Credit Union Convention Recap |
|
The 2020 Iowa Credit Union Convention was held virtually September 16-17. Thank you to the more than 400 attendees who logged into the convention platform and app to participate!
This year's virtual format made us think creatively about how to meet our members where they are - at work and at home. In addition to recordings of convention programming, all Iowa credit unions have access to an extra 15 pre-recorded sessions through the end of the year. Recordings can be viewed by convention registrants on the virtual platform or app. Those who did not register or attend convention may access the recordings here.
Be sure to mark your calendar for next year's event to be held September 15-17, 2021 in Dubuque.
