Video Vote

Recently my friends at Forum Solutions and Trabian opened a competition for a position as a guest speaker at their yearly conference, Partnership Symposium '08. The conference sponsors sent out a call for auditions for this coveted spot on the schedule by asking those interested to develop a video which covered one of two themes from the Federal Credit Union Act. The announcement stated:

Themes: The Federal Credit Union Act gives this definition for a Credit Union:

...the term ‘‘Federal credit union’’ means a cooperative association organized in accordance with the provisions of this chapter for the purpose of promoting thrift among its members and creating a source of credit for provident or productive purposes;

That statement of purpose is good news, good news we aren’t always good at sharing or remembering. So maybe you can help us get excited and refocused by speaking to one of these two core ideas.

• Promoting Thrift
• Loans for Provident and Productive Purposes

How to Audition It’s pretty easy, just make a video of why you’d make a good Guest Speaker and tell us which of the two topics you’d like to speak on and why.

I enjoy a good challenge and, since this is a wonderful conference that I'd love to attend, I entered and submitted a video. My video is one of 4 entries and it's now time to cast your vote for the one you think best illustrates the theme. The more votes the merrier so cast your ballot, here, at the Forum Solutions Site. The deadline is July 11th.
