10:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. — Prepare for the Future Building Strong Relationships Across Generational Lines
Presented by:
Kim Lear, Founder
Inlay Insights

If our recent past has taught us anything, it is this: the only constant is change. Now is a critical time to examine the rapidly changing world around us and actively reimagine our future. Kim Lear’s unique approach to forecasting tracks change over time through a series of longitudinal studies to help leaders find their footing and make the bold future-oriented decisions demanded by this moment. In this program, we will explore how the very things that make us human—our aspirations, values, relationships, and work—have evolved over time. Through a generational lens, we will gain critical insights into where we have been, how we got to where we are today, and where we may go from here. The time has come to challenge conventional thinking and explore bold new approaches to relationship building and member experience. Supported with cutting edge research and category leading case studies, this program will take a deep dive into the evolving needs and expectations of modern clients.

1:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. — U.S. Economic Outlook and its Impact on Credit Unions
Presented by:
