VolCorp is rolling out the red carpet at Forum ‘15
NASHVILLE, TN (July 8, 2015) – Volunteer Corporate Credit Union (VolCorp) will host its annual Forum August 20-21, 2015, at Embassy Suites Nashville – South/Cool Springs in Franklin, TN. This is definitely the year to attend as we “Roll out the Red Carpet” for our very Special Keynote Speaker… Ashley Judd!
Speakers for this special event include:

”Keynote”
In addition to being a well-known actress of film, TV, and Broadway, Ashley Judd is also a dedicated humanitarian. Working with multiple non-governmental organizations, she has traveled to 13 developing countries, visiting brothels, slums, FDP camps, orphanages and hospices, carrying sacred stories of the disempowered both to grassroots change makers and world leaders.
“Credit unions are often referred to as being part of a movement – The Credit Union Movement – rather than an industry, because they are dedicated to working together to improve the quality of life for everyone. Through their “people helping people” philosophy, credit unions strive to serve their members, their communities, and society as a whole. Considering the common ground between Ms. Judd’s humanitarian efforts and the credit union philosophy, we believe our member credit unions will benefit from Ms. Judd’s firsthand account of her humanitarian efforts,” according to Sandy Swofford, SVP, Marketing/Business Development.
