Credit union finance professionals can calculate their specific return on investment for attending the 16th annual CUNA CFO Council Conference, May 16-19, in New Orleans, La. The CUNA CFO Council has released a “Conference ROI Calculator” spreadsheet on their website.

“In every aspect of the conference, we're ensuring that you generate a positive return on investment for attending,” said Pam Finch, chair of the CUNA CFO Council and CFO at Mid Minnesota FCU in Baxter, Minn. “Our speakers are not only great to listen to, but they'll also provide you with tangible tools and resources you can take back to your credit union that can be applied immediately to your bottom line.”

Individuals can input expenses into the ROI calculator, check all of the boxes of interest, and go to the bottom of the spreadsheet to find the ROI.

“These are hard facts just waiting to be shared with your CEO about attending the conference,” says Finch.

Featured sessions include:

• Non-interest income: now what?!
• ALCO best practices for a heightened regulatory environment
• Using advanced ALM techniques to reduce exposure to interest rate risk
• Wholesale funding strategies
• Expense management best practices and ideas
• After the bailout
• Maximizing ROA on your credit card portfolio
• Dueling economists

The agenda for the conference is created by the CUNA CFO Council conference committee (in partnership with council staff) made up of volunteer council members from credit unions. This ensures the topics are as relevant to attendees as possible.

“What's the ultimate ROI indicator for this conference?” asks Brandon Michaels, chair of the CUNA CFO Council Conference committee and CFO at Mazuma CU in Kansas City, Mo. “It's the simple fact that if you don't stay current in this ever-changing environment, you could fall perilously behind.”
