Communication during crisis: Sign up and learn more
by Ron Daly
Yesterday at CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), DigitalMailer and our strategic partner Ongoing Operations (click here for a list of our other Strategic Partners) hosted a meet-and-greet at Capitol City Brewing Co. Great food and drink, to be sure, but the company was wonderful. The folks at Ongoing were great, as always, and I never regret meeting folks from credit unions across the nation.
I talked with a few folks yesterday who wanted me to get them the link for our upcoming webinar with Ongoing Operations. The webinar, hosted by CreditUnions.com, is called How to Communicate During a Crisis. It's complimentary and lasts about an hour, so why not sign up?
I'll break it down for you:
Who: Us, Ongoing Operations, Northwest FCU's Bill Cook What: A free webinar about our Crisis Management Notification System, and about the best way to manage your credit union's emergency operations When: Thursday, March 5 at 2:00 pm Eastern Where: Online! Click here for more info and to sign up. Why: I think the "why" is pretty obvious, personally. Right now, times are tough and budgets are thin. Start thinking about a solution that can save you money and save precious time in a crisis.
We can help you get started with "Stop the Paper!"

There's been a lot of buzz and hum about credit cards recently. And why not? Credit is a sore subject to some, a point of pride for others, and for folks that never had it? Could go either way, really.
So, let's highlight some credit card stories of the past few days:
One of the biggest stories: The Heartland Systems break-in. I wrote a piece for the CU Soapbox on the hack about a week ago (click to read), and new horror stories just keep popping up. Wired Magazine has been keeping tabs on the accounts affected (click here to read) and CreditCards.com say the effects have hit financial institutions on all levels and in many states (click to read).
More and more, banks and credit card companies have been driving up the rates (click to read).
