Educational Resources

We believe you must educate, uplift, collaborate, and support others to see real change happen.

From our UNDERGROUND discussions, we’ve created educational resources you can use at your credit union to put ideas into action.

The UNDERGROUND drives change, engages diverse opinions, and forces off-record discussions to become on-record initiatives. Be part of the movement! Here’s what people are saying:  

I love that the UNDERGROUND is a safe place to have really hard tough conversations on relevant current events. Probably my favorite part of it is the "Ideas Into Action." It’s not this pie in the sky, big stuff up there (we talk about those things too, of course). We create actionable items you can implement right away.

I appreciate that you create a safe space and I think our movement needs this. We need to challenge one another and take a hard look at how well we are responding to really difficult outside events. And if we do that well, we will be so much stronger for it. I'm glad you make space for it.

I think the UNDERGROUND is an opportunity to have discussions for the progressive credit union leaders who want to be here 20 years from now. To be able to go in and say, "I may not like what I’m going to hear, but it’s a different view point. I could learn something from it. It may not change my mind, but if nothing else, I’m going to learn something different from this and challenge the way I’m doing things and be abetter leader because of it.

When you do the forums, you create a trusted environment to discuss ideas. Not saying you have to agree to everything, and yet you’re not restricting. It’s free-flowing. Maybe out of 10 random ideas, two will stick with somebody and will create something new, something radical, something different, something better. And that is what this is about.
