NAFCU’s education team provides credit unions with the best training opportunities available for employees and volunteers at any level. The educational offerings are timely and incorporate the trends and changes affecting the industry today and into the future. In 2022, NAFCU offered 12 conferences and events, delivering forward-thinking content – designed to equip credit unions with the tools needed to grow and serve members – straight to attendees. Through these 12 events, NAFCU leaders connected in-person and virtually, attracting more than 3,100 registrants and bringing the credit union industry together with key experts. In addition, the association virtually met with nearly 1,000 credit union executives during the 2022 State of the Industry conference, covering the latest trends and opportunities affecting credit unions. NAFCU’s Online Training Center continued to be highly utilized, offering weekly live and on-demand webinars on the most prominent issues; it remains a valuable opportunity for credit union staff to stay up-to-date on the latest trends. In fact, throughout the year, nearly 5,000 credit union industry professionals streamed more than 16,000 hours – almost 2 years’ worth – of content. Building on the success NAFCU Networks has achieved since launching in 2020, the association launched a fresh look for its eight peer communities in 2022. The user-friendly, updated platform enhanced the member experience as they connected with peers and created additional opportunities for meaningful engagement.
