EVENT: Why Members Sue Credit Unions and Win (Session Code: 485)
Case law of actual incidents will be reviewed with the audience in which credit unions have been sued. The goal of this seminar is to educate the audience on litigation avoidance. Often, having investigative policies and procedures in dealing with member issues up front can save the credit union significant funds over time.
