Your all-access pass to

THE FUTURE OF
CREDIT UNION GROWTH

WHAT YOU’LL GET

Backstage exists for the people who move credit unions forward — the doers, the connectors, the strategy shapers.

Everything here is built by BD leaders who have been on the road, in the rooms, on the stages, and behind the scenes… driving real results with real partners.

February / May / August / November
Not your typical CU workshop.
These are high-impact sessions where strategy meets execution — the stuff we wish someone taught us earlier in our careers.
From relationship-building to BD storytelling to meaningful engagement, these workshops help your team grow with intention, confidence, and clarity.

FIRST LIVE WORKSHOP
Modern Day Trailblazers:
Reimagining Community Impact
Featuring Jimese Harkley, Chief Community Engagement Officer at Harborstone Credit Union.

This is a moment for bold thinking. Together, we'll explore how credit unions are evolving their approach to community development - from transactional giving to deeper engagement, stronger financial wellness strategies, and more impactful service. Jimese will share how Harborstone is leading this shift, along with honest insights into the skills and support teams need to meet today's demands.

No more new shades of blue paint. It's time to lead the shift.
