We're excited to announce the launch of our newest board training and development tool: The Board Knowledge Portal!

What is it?

The Board Knowledge Portal provides your entire board with subscription-based access to knowledge, tools, and subject matter expertise, all in one convenient place.

Having access to a curated knowledge portal offers a multitude of benefits for credit union directors, particularly in the realms of information accessibility and board efficiency. The Board Knowledge Portal will serve as a centralized repository of video-based learning, downloadable resources, skill assessments, and facilitated sessions. It will also provide your board with access to topical information on key subjects that are on your agenda such as:

• ESG - climate change impacts, inclusion strategies and oversight
• Data - data-based decisions, cyber security, and foresight
• Digital Transformation - generative AI,  change leadership, and more.

What are the benefits?

The portal has been in pilot testing since April and the initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Testers are commenting that this is a new way to access information, it's effective at upskilling directors quickly, and it has the ability to support boards in real time. Once it's live, the portal will be accessible by any subscribed director at any time, through any device. Furthermore, for those directors who are CUDA graduates, or accredited in the CUDA program, the Board Knowledge Portal subscription is pre-qualified for eight continuing education (CE) credits for each year you hold a subscription.

There's more! Subscribed directors can also attend four "Ask Me Anything" sessions with governance experts this fall!

Boards who have purchased access to the knowledge portal will also be automatically invited to participate in four topics sessions this fall. Each will be attended by a governance subject matter expert and delivered in an open "Ask Me Anything" format, which allows directors to receive guidance on their questions around key topics. Questions can be submitted in advance or addressed during the session. Each session will be one hour in length. Stay tuned for topics to be released.
