CU Student Choice will host its tenth annual Empower U conference virtually on October 17 and October 24.
“It’s only fitting that the milestone tenth anniversary of Empower U takes place at the junction of so many critical events,” said Michael Weber, Chief Marketing Officer for Student Choice. “We have an election just weeks away, the Fed is cutting rates, and rapid tech advancements continue to alter the financial services landscape. Through Empower U, we’ll help executives gain a deeper understanding of these important events and the impact they could have on credit union business.”
Empower U sessions are free and open to credit union employees.
