"Streamlining your Credit Union's Board Meetings," with Dan Clark and Dottie Schindlinger

To be successful, a credit union's membership and staff need the board to be forward-looking and forward-thinking. This session provided tips and tools you can use to transform your board meetings to be less time-wasting and more focused.

We covered:

• Ways credit unions can utilize technology to efficiently prepare for, schedule, and conduct board meetings
• How improving the board's delegation of specific roles to management frees up board meeting time
• How to help the board focus its knowledge/information system on essentials
• Ways that e-governance provides all the information needed, and not in one large, bulky, intimidating ream of material before a meeting

You'll leave this session with concrete strategies you can use to help streamline board communications, and make your meetings more efficient and effective.

About Dan Clark:

During the 1970s he served Florida first as an examiner, and is the only examiner to reach Florida’s top credit union position working from the 13th floor of the Capitol Building. In a short two-year stint at the Florida CU League he ran the audit service and marketed the service corporation. Dan developed and delivered several day-long trainings for Supervisory
committees and a share draft implementation consultation.

In the 1980s he volunteered as a credit union board member and founded his consulting practice. He followed that with two decades as a credit union President/CEO. During that period he helped create what is now a very successful Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization serving as its first board chair. Dan was also instrumental in making Consumer Credit Counseling Services available to consumers in the Big Bend Area around Tallahassee, Florida. In 2006 Dan went full-time again as a consultant, facilitator, speaker and coach.

Dan blends the regulatory, board member and executive experiences and perspectives into a balanced approach. He is dedicated to helping organizations continue to build on their successes through effective leadership and management, sound governance, and visioning and strategy toward farther horizons.
