League President Elise Baldacci addresses credit unions at the 2024 Management Roundtable.
The League was pleased to host the 2024 Management Roundtable at the Samoset Resort earlier this week. Credit unions from across the state were represented at this annual event designed to inspire, inform, and better connect colleagues with one another.
Throughout the two-day conference, guest speakers echoed the importance of differentiating credit unions from others in the financial services industry―highlighting the positive attributes of both our people and culture. Credit unions also were encouraged to avoid complacency, a theme Mike Higgins, Mark Arnold, and Erin Coleman all echoed during their individual remarks.
Credit unions benefited from networking with and hearing from Yellow Light Breen, Maine Development Foundation’s CEO. He stressed the need to “magnetize Maine for talent” to ensure credit unions and other industries have the skilled workers they need now and in the future.
Time also was spent explaining the League’s new Board structure. Break-out sessions provided credit unions in select asset sizes a valuable opportunity to collaborate with their peers and discuss ways to contribute and serve on the League’s Board. Individuals who are interested in running for a League Board seat can declare their intent to run online―noting which category (region or asset size) they would like to represent.
“I would like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to join the League at this year’s Management Roundtable–including our special guests, Synergent, Tricorp, and TruStage,” stated League President Elise Baldacci. “I hope the insight shared at this event will help our credit unions better develop their strategic plans for the year ahead. Having tangible ideas ahead of planning sessions will fuel our collective success as a movement as we look toward 2025.”
