September event wraps up busy networking summer for Xtend
GRAND RAPIDS, MI (September 18, 2015) — Xtend, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based multi-owned cooperative CUSO, recently participated in the 2015 CU*South Visionary Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana alongside credit union professionals from more than two dozen credit unions and industry partners. The event wrapped up a busy summer of executive leadership conferences hosted by the CUSOs that comprise the cuasterisk.com network.
Scott Collins, President of Xtend commented, “It is a tradition across our network that each summer we invite our customer-owners to our respective annual meetings. It started in May with our partners at eDOC Innovations, then June for our partners at CU*Answers and CU*Northwest, and culminated with our partners at CU*South this week. Right in the middle we held our Xtend event in Grand Rapids and had our largest attendance ever. When the numbers are totaled, we expect that collectively our network conferences will have been attended by over 400 credit union professionals from 125 credit unions across the US. And it wouldn’t surprise me if those numbers were even higher.”
Collins noted that teams from each of the cuasterisk.com CUSOs had already begun planning their summer of 2016 events in Grand Rapids, Spokane and New Orleans.
