The Difference Between An Industry And A Movement?

 

 It's a different way of walking... [link]

Exactly the mentality that harms the industry. Many credit union leaders don’t accept reality, can’t adapt, and think they are part of a movement (or even want to be, for that matter). They come up for air just long enough to claim everyone else is becoming a bank.

😎 ... a difference in purpose, a difference in principles. a difference in conscience ... a difference in understanding.

  Walk the talk... teach your children!

  1. The Walk For Peace has been impactful to so many people. There are many lessons to be learned for individuals and organizations, like credit unions, just by watching and listening to the monks. Showing peace and kindness can make a difference to yourself, others, and society.

    1. As a credit union member I don’t care if you walk with monks or run with the bulls. I want my data protected and relevant products at reasonable prices. Stop singing kumbayah and serve your members.

    2. @1:07. I AM a member, not staff. I want to be treated as an individual not a statistic.

      I feel sorry for you. Maybe one day you can find some peace and happiness without denigrating others.

    3. 1:07pm Mr. "I want' and "I don't care". Take a walk.

  2. Credit unions can embrace and act on those differences without being part of a movement. The movement concept is dead and talk of it discredits an industry fighting for relevance. Whatever this movement limbo jumbo is - aside from being aligned on saving tax status, there was never a full alignment of philosophy or homogeneity, which is a core definition of a movement. Small CU’s in particular like to play victim and hope some movement will save them. It won’t. Taking care of their members instead of worrying about what some other CU is doing might.
