Join facilitator Anthony Piscitelli (DF Chair) and the panel John Taylor (President, OMIA), Paul Vandenbosch (Director, Middlesex Mutual) and Tanya Gracie (Senior Advisor, Central 1), to explore some of the similarities and differences between mutuals and credit unions, how the two systems operate, the unique challenges that boards face, and how our two governance systems are converging. Participants will then break out in groups to consider opportunities for collaboration between the two sectors.
This is a great opportunity for system directors to chat with their mutual counterparts, so please share this invite with your board and register today!
