The award is given each year during the League’s annual convention to honor legislators who have gone the extra mile to support Indiana’s credit unions and their 2.2 million members. This year’s convention was held Oct. 3-5. Since joining Congress in early 2008, Carson has proven to be a very strong credit union supporter. As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, he has been very interested in credit unions’ perspectives on the critical issues that have come before the committee. For the third time, Congressman Carson signed on as a co-sponsor of important legislation that would help create jobs by increasing the limit on loans that credit unions can make to small businesses. Carson has strong relationships with the credit unions in his district and understands the important role credit unions play in their communities. Stutzman also has become a strong credit union supporter since joining Congress in late 2010. Beginning early on, Congressman Stutzman has met on many occaRep. Rep.

Fighting fraud has become such a top priority that 58% of 200 credit unions and banks said they will increases resources to thwart criminal activity, according to BankInfoSecurity’s 2012 Faces of Fraud survey. This is up from 34% in 2010. Another 17% said they plan to spend between 10% and 20% more than they did last year. Over the summer, cases involving auto and business loan scams seem to hit credit unions especially hard. In August, credit unions and other lenders were among those allegedly defrauded out of $16 million in a case involving the sale of and leaseback of several businesses, including Jiffy Lube stores, in four states. Andrew Brosnac, 47, of Keller, Texas and Samuel Pearson, 47, of Hanover, York County, Pa., were allegedly able to get financing and commercial loans from Indiana First Savings Bank, Bank of the West, the $1.1 billion California Credit Union in Glendale, Calif., the $2 billion Travis Credit Union in Vacaville, Calif., and the $550 million Great Lakes Credit Union in North Chicago, Ill., for investors to purchase the properties and then used other companies controlled by Brosnac and Pearson to lease and operate the properties for investors. Brosnac allegedly provided investors and lenders with false and fraudulent financial infor-\27 TECH CU REGULATION Members Squash Bank Bid Departures Ripen NCUA for Change DAVID MORRISON [email protected] embers of Technology Credit Union voted to reject a proposal to convert their institution to a mutual bank. According to a member of the San Jose, Calif., $1.6 billion nearly 18,000 members voted in the balloting, with approximately 4,000 voting in favor of the proposal to become a mutual bank and 14,000 voting against. The credit union has about 70,000 total members. Those figures show that nearly 26% of the members participated in the balloting, and about 78% of those who voted favored retaining the credit union charter. “Obviously, we are thrilled with the outcome and the size of the victory,” said Carlos Rodriquez, the Technology member who kicked off the movement questioning the conversion proposal with a Facebook page and helped organize a Save TCU member group along with another long time\30 HEATHER ANDERSON [email protected] TRANSFER DAY Year Later, Relationships Blossom MICHELLE A. SAMAAD [email protected] or many credit unions, the first 90 days after a new member signs on can be a critical gauge on whether a relationship can be nurtured and sustained for the long term. That time frame will certainly be a factor as questions from both in and outside the credit union industry wonder what became of the 214,000 members who joined in the month The Rundown \ Credit union execs tout litany of opportunities to build long-term relationships. \ Auto loans, online banking, credit cards, checking accounts among highest usage. \ Bank Transfer Day’s impact may further move economy into recovery. leading up to Bank Transfer Day on Nov. 5, 2011. That’s not including the 450,000 new members who joined credit unions in September, October, November and December last year. Competitors, particularly some banks, may also wonder if that membership surge led to meaningful, revenue-building relationships. Indeed, the $2 billion Redwood Credit Union questioned whether BTD was a one-off event, said Anne Benjamin, executive vice president and chief operating officer. Between Oct. 1, 2011 and Aug. 31, 2012, the Santa Rosa, Calif.-based financial institution opened 24,019 new accounts. It currently serves more than 220,000 members. “It’s interesting because we’ve been thoughtful on what has\23 Pay Disclosure P M t hange is inevitable at the NCUA following the announcements by Board Member Gigi Hyland and Executive Director David Marquis that they’re leaving the agency. Hyland announced her resignation from the board Sept. 20 after working more than a year after her six-year term expired. Her last day is Oct. 5. Earlier this year, the Obama administration nominated District Government Employees Federal Credit Union CEO Carla Decker to replace Hyland, Hyland but she withdrew her nomination in March after a DGEFCU board member leaked a negative exam report that cast doubt on Decker’s qualifications. Credit unions shouldn’t look for another nomination soon, said CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney. He said it was highly unlikely the Obama administration would act before the election, and added that the position wouldn’t be worth the political heat Obama took when he appointed CFPB Director Richard Cordray while Congress was in recess. California Credit Union League President/CEO Diana Dystrka observed that while replacing Hyland may be a high priority for credit unions, it’s not necessarily a high priority for the White House. \24 Focus Report: W t COMPLIMENTARY COPIES OF CREDIT UNION TIMES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE WELCOME ROOM.

Seven selected to Crash the Convention “Crash the Convention,” a program that offers the opportunity for young emerging leaders at credit unions to attend major industry events that they would not normally be able to attend, continues at this year’s Convention. Several other Leagues have adopted the progam at their conventions, and there have been crashers at CUNA events as well. The Indiana crashers are credit union staffers under age 35 who are not yet at the management team level at their credit unions, and who have not been to convention in at least two years. The seven who were selected are: • Micaela Paluszewski, AAA FCU • Shelby Schuh, Beacon CU • Tom Headington, FORUM CU • Ashley Akins, KEMBA CU • Adam Richards, MidWest America FCU • Jan Zurek, Midwest Family FCU • Tiffany Davis, State Service CU Please welcome this group to the Convention. The League hopes they come away inspired about the credit union business and positioned to take on leadership roles in the future. Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012 ICUL Convention Chronicle page 15 Special week recognizes cooperative businesses impact Governor Mitch Daniels has declared Oct. 14-20 Cooperative Week with support of many cooperative organizations, including the League and the Indiana Cooperative Development Center. This week, Hoosiers whose lives are improved by the presence of cooperative organizations—which includes just about everyone in Indiana—should take note. In his proclamation, Gov. Daniels said that “the cooperatives in Indiana generate significant income, employment and revenue and function as engines of economic growth for local communities and the economy of Indiana.” Support for the proclamation came from cooperatives throughout the state of Indiana. In Indiana there are hundreds of cooperative organizations including credit unions, insurance agencies, energy providers, housing, daycare, farm supply, education, and grocery co-ops. The Governor’s proclamation will be on display throughout the week of Oct. 14-20 in many locations including the Indiana Farm Bureau Building (225 South East Street, Indianapolis) which is home to several cooperative organizations that provide financial services, insurance products, energy exploration, and other services. The celebration and support of co-operative businesses will continue after the conclusion of Cooperative Week when the Indiana Cooperative Summit takes place November 9. The theme of the summit is “Co-ops = Stronger Communities.” For de- VISIT US AT BOOTH #50 tails or to register, visit www.indianasummit. coop. ICUL Convention Chronicle page 16 Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012 Round-the-clock call center service now available from Credit Union Card Center Servicecorp’s Credit Union Card Center (CUCC) is now offering 24/7 call center support for credit union clients every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. This is possible thanks to extended office hours and a new partnership with AnyHour Solutions, an Illinois-based call center operation which works exclusively with credit unions. “We know that credit cardholders lead busy lives and often need assistance after normal working hours or when they are traveling.” said Servicecorp Chief Operating Officer Diana Arnold. “We hope that this enhancement to our services will improve member satisfaction. Our goal is that credit cardholders will receive the same support they have experienced from CUCC in the past, and we will work closely with AnyHour Solutions to insure we are meeting members’ needs going forward.” CUCC will be closed on all federal holidays, but AnyHour Solutions will handle cardholder calls on those holidays. In the past, the call center was open for limited hours on Martin Luther King, Jr., President’s Day, Columbus Day, and Veteran’s Day for both credit unions and cardholders. Call center contact information: • CUCC office hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Calls that occur outside those times will be handled by AnyHour Solutions. • Credit union staff should call (888) 5522737 to contact CUCC staff during business hours. • If credit unions call the number created for cardholders, they could be directed to AnyHour Solutions Pictured from left: Rachele Suddarth, call center supervisor, Dayna Brown, loss prevention coordinator, and Robin Maxey, member service manager. on a holiday or during hours that CUCC is not open, in which case they will not be able to assist you. AnyHour Solutions staff has been trained to answer cardholder inquiries but not to assist with more complicated calls from credit union staff.
