Networking Opportunities
Bringing credit union leaders together is our passion. Whether it be in person or virtual, we are dedicated to uniting our network of progressive thought-leaders.
We offer a variety of opportunities for our community to come together including our Owner Meetings, innovation sessions with our NextUP program, and specially curated topic-specific workshops.
Project Workshops
Small group gatherings hosted on relevant topics
MDC consistently supplies our credit union with relevant, real-world information that we would have neither the time nor financial resources to obtain on our own. We also appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with industry experts and vendors in a non-sales environment. Probably above all, MDC’s two annual owner meetings provide ample opportunity to network and share ideas with the most progressive credit unions in the country.
The NextUP program is the “jet fuel” for credit union distinction, personnel development, and innovation skills and capability development. I am honored to help facilitate the research, innovation and NextUP program activities. The ideas that incubate from the program activities are the future competitive advantage for the MDC owners. The skills that the NextUP participants develop will equip them to be future leaders.
We have been members of MDC for a few years now, and we are very impressed with the team they have! They are insightful and inquisitive, and they love to dig into the gory details. The owner meetings provide a great opportunity to meet like-minded people, hear about what they are doing in their CUs, and just discuss what the future holds for our industry. MDC also has fantastic speakers that you don’t hear at other conferences, and they are very thought-provoking.
The ideas and research coming from the NextUP Program are completely unlike any other program in the movement. There is no other group that not only develops the initial idea but then spends the following 12 to 18 months bringing it to reality. Ideas, backed by research, partnerships, and execution can change the world.
