Join a panel of credit union executives from across the country – moderated by Mike McGinnis, SVP & CIO of Catalyst – as they share how they are navigating growth, earnings pressure, and balance sheet challenges in real time. Hear candid perspectives on what’s working, what’s not, and how leadership teams are adapting strategies to strengthen performance in today’s environment.

Detailed Description:
Credit unions across the country are facing a common challenge – how to grow and improve earnings in an environment defined by rate uncertainty, margin pressure, and evolving member expectations. Yet, the approaches to solving these challenges often vary significantly by institution, market, and leadership philosophy.

In this executive panel, three credit union leaders from different regions will share how they are navigating these dynamics within their own organizations. Each brings a unique perspective shaped by distinct market conditions, balance sheet structures, and strategic priorities – while all are focused on driving growth and strengthening financial performance.

Moderated by Mike McGinnis, SVP & Chief Investment Officer of Catalyst, the discussion will provide an open and practical look at how leadership teams are thinking about growth, managing earnings pressure, and making key balance sheet decisions. Panelists will share where they are leaning in, where they are pulling back, and how they are adapting strategies in response to ongoing economic uncertainty.

Attendees will gain insight into real-world decision-making, learn how peers are approaching similar challenges, and walk away with ideas they can apply within their own institutions.
