The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation has invited credit unions to participate in a July 26 dialogue that will explore ways to make the state’s financial industry more competitive and robust.
Economists will analyze the industry and the WEDC will give an update on its plans and progress. Credit unions have been asked to discuss issues affecting the financial services industry, including employee education, training, recruitment and retention.
Credit unions would also consider forming a financial services consortium. The consortium would give financial professionals an opportunity to advise the WEDC on financial services issues.
“Effectively, it would help keep credit unions plugged into state policymaking as a means of stimulating economic growth,” said Brett Thompson, Wisconsin Credit Union League president and CEO.
