Good Morning! Work hard, play hard – that’s our plan over these next two days in Bismarck! Today, we are hosting our DakCU Professional Forum and Town Hall and luncheon with several special guests. This evening, we will punctuate the day with some social events, including a sunset cruise on the Lewis & Clark Riverboat. Early tomorrow, we have 16 teams ready to tee off at Apple Creek Country Club for the 5th Annual Dakota Credit Union Foundation Golf Scramble and fundraiser. Today is our “work hard” day, in which we plan to discuss a wide range of topics covering all angles of credit union operations and advocacy during our Professionals Forum. This attendee-driven meeting provides a great opportunity to bounce ideas and issues around a group of your peers with the only requirement being a willingness to ask questions and engage in conversation. I am also looking forward to getting some feedback from attendees on upcoming legislative issues popping up in both the state and at the federal level, including cryptocurrency and cannabis banking. Attendees will hear from CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle over lunch, including a Q&A session, as well as our US Senator from North Dakota, Kevin Cramer. We are very excited to welcome Mr. Nussle to our great state, and it’s a special occasion to have Senator Cramer with us to discuss some very pertinent credit union legislative advocacy issues. We are planning for an open dialogue today, and I’m sure the topics of interchange and infrastructure legislation will be discussed with both of our special guests, in addition to the budget reconciliation process that is currently kicking off in the Senate. Be sure to check out the Memo and our social media pages for more updates and details on today’s meetings as well as Thursday’s “Play Yellow” Foundation Golf Scramble which will also benefit the Sanford Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in Fargo this year. I’m looking forward to connecting with many of you in person over the next two days in Bismarck! As always, don't hesitate to contact me at jkruse@dakcu.org with any questions or comments.
