The presentation features:
- 9 slides on the “why” of who we are as credit unions and the “why” of what we do
- 7 slides about the partnership with CrossState—how we work together and the resources CrossState provides to help you make an impact with financial well-being
There are also blue bubbles with questions on various slides, allowing you to make this an interactive presentation. You can ask them to the entire audience or put people in breakouts to discuss them.
Along with the presentation, we provide talking points to help you go through each of the slides and engage your audience effectively. You’ll find them in the Notes section of the presentation. There is also a separate Word document provided below for your convenience.
If preferred, you can play a recording of the presentation given by Foundation Executive Director Sue Ward-Diorio.
