From now on, the publication will contain a razor sharp focus on the content most desired by readers performance insights and strategies. Readers will still find all the great data and graphs that make envisioningperformance trends easy. But now the Industry Performance categories think lending, shares, earnings, etc. will also contain a breakdown of region and asset classes as well as national developments.

In some ways, credit unions were the original disruptors, providing credit and liquidity to Americans during one of the darkest periods of our history, the Great Depression. This innovative movement disrupted the traditionalbanking sector by showing members they mattered and returning value for their participation in the cooperative.
Those same ideals drive today’s credit union industry more than 100 years later. Although showing off financial safety and soundness is important, so, too, is underscoring why a credit union is more than just another financial services provider.ROM does just that, and Callahan is proud to launch Ideas In Action with a look at the only metric in the industry that measures member value.
