Does Your Board Have a Succession Plan?

You may be aware of the recent proposal by the NCUA Board to regulate Board Succession Planning for federally chartered credit unions. We are pleased to see that this important issue has the attention of the NCUA and that they recognize how vital it is for credit union Boards to have a succession plan in place. While regulations can feel burdensome, we are offering resources and support to you and your Board so that burden is lifted and your Board can ensure the continued success of your credit union's vision and mission. Below are quick links to read about the proposed rule, our response and how to receive a free copy of our Board Renewal Policy to help you get started.

Quantum Governance, L3C has spent nearly a decade writing and developing an extensive library of Board-level policies, procedures, job descriptions and charters designed to ensure that your credit union has the most contemporary tools to support the Board, Senior Management and Supervisory/Audit Committees in the pursuit of governance excellence. Our library includes more than 60 documents available to purchase individually or in thoughtfully curated packages for efficiency in fulfilling your credit union's vision and mission.

In the latest report in The State of Credit Union Governance series authored by Quantum Governance, the David and Sharon Johnston Centre and CUES, Covid-19 and DEI: Revolution & Evolution Come to the Credit Union Community, it was revealed that effective DEI initiatives require active, enduring structures and processes. More than just a well-articulated, public-facing policy statement, DEI initiatives must be a part of an organization's culture, indeed embedded in their very DNA. An initial first step toward changing the DEI culture of your organization is to understand what it is currently.

DEI Assessment: Our proprietary online survey is designed to probe areas such as your organization's DEI vision and alignment, Board and Management, people and operations, culture and public-facing opportunities.

DEI Policy Work: Does your organization have a DEI policy? Quantum will work with you to update your current policy or develop a contemporary one that will help guide your leadership on all future issues.

Workshops and Consulting: Have a unique problem or need help just starting the conversation about DEI at the Board and Senior Management level? We can help you to do all of that with guided workshops and one-on-one consulting.
