Roger Enrico, former CEO of PepsiCo, once stated, “A point of view is worth 50 IQ points.” If that is in
deed true, then what happens when we collect ideas, opinions, subject matter, and intellectual capital from some of the credit union industry’s BEST and BRIGHTEST Minds? Amazing things can happen… it can create revolutionary change and it can bring learning to life through rich, real experiences that elevate the organizational IQ.
These trusted advisors and industry experts have earned the title of Honorary Professors by communicating and teaching their point of view on simple business practices, as well as a full spectrum of intangible, complex concepts. We are privileged to announce that they have chosen MyDAS to capture and publish their knowledge in an Educational Library within Credit Union University, .
Here’s what can you expect from Credit Union University’s Educational Library.
“Nearly one-third of all current CEOs and other senior leaders are preparing to retire,” cautioned Mark Elliott. “And when you recruit a new CEO, chances are they will take a number of talented senior executives with them potentially leaving their old organization in a leadership crisis. It is critical for the industry to develop and coach the next generation leader, now.” Mark Elliott is the founder of PowerStart Onboarding, a comprehensive coaching and development process for newly placed leaders. With 25 years of experience in management consulting domestically and internationally, he has consulted with hundreds of companies, including credit unions, on a broad range of issues involving leadership assessment and development, executive recruitment and assimilation, and organizational development.
"With all these CEOs retiring, how can we just let their intellectual capital walk out the door with them?" asked Ed Callahan. "There is a great wealth of knowledge getting away from us and from our industry that can be tapped through the collection of articles and courses." Ed Callahan is co-founder of Member Value Network and retired CEO of Patelco Credit Union. Mr. Callahan has had many distinctions bestowed upon him including induction into the Cooperative Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C. This prominent award honors individuals for their commendable assistance to cooperative business. Mr. Callahan has also received The Leo Shapiro Lifetime Achievement Award and Herb Wegner Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement. These awards recognize his excellence in credit union philosophy and contributions to the credit union movement.
Callahan & Associates has been on the cutting edge of credit union issues for over 20 years, providing essential research and consulting for the industry. Chip Filson, President, has a keen ability to tap into and analyze market data to increase the adaptability of the credit union industry in today’s ever-changing marketplace. “Market differentiation is just one of the critical issues for credit unions in the near future and your people need to gain acces
s to information that can be applied quickly,” said Filson. “An Educational Library that can be accessed by all levels of staff can be a vital step in the right direction.”
“As challenges continue to face the credit union industry, becoming a world class organization requires executives to make a commitment to lifelong learning,” stated Randy Karnes. “I know, because my board members are all credit union CEOs. My passion for sharing concepts on how to increase member value, challenge the status quo and express practical concepts will become a vital part of the articles I author for CUU.” Randy Karnes is the CEO of CU*Answers, a credit union owned CUSO. For over 30 years, CU*Answers has offered a variety of services to the credit union industry including several processing services and internet banking. Their dedication to the success and efficiency of credit unions is long-standing and is evident in their commitment to providing educational resources for their clients.

This is just the beginning of what will evolve from the creation of a new Educational Library within MyDAS’ Credit Union University.
MyDAS is adding new alliance partners that will have corporate universities, including CU Direct Corporation™ (administrator of Credit Union Direct Lending® or“CUDL®” and CU Direct DecisionApp), the leader in point-of-sale and indirect lending within the credit union industry. Their goal: to take education within the credit union industry to the next level by partnering to combine their industry-specific knowledge and experience. Working with a national network of credit unions, and automotive dealers, CU Direct helps increase awareness of the credit union difference with an influential number of consumers.
Member Service Centers, formerly Texas Credit Union Service Centers, will be announcing a new University for their credit unions to gain valuable information on establishing and maximizing a service center location. Mark Chatfield, Senior Vice President of Texas Credit Union League shares his thoughts, “We know that our credit union clients look for us to train their staff and to enhance our service levels. Education does just that! For over ten years, we have considered MyDAS a valued business partner. We have embraced their educational model because it not only provides the fundamental core competencies, but it also helps us achieve a more dynamic value proposition for our clients.”
Look for more content, more corporate universities and more access to comprehensive educational resources as new alliance partners and professors add their intellectual capital to Credit Union University. Plus, hundreds of custom authored courses by clients of will now be shared within the catalog as the users collaborate to enhance industry knowledge. Perhaps the best summary of our vision for education came from Dave Rhamy, CEO of Silver State Schools Credit Union, WesCorp and RMJ Foundation Board Member and 15 year client of MyDAS when he declared, “Credit Union University has truly become the industry’s finest online educational service.”
