Baldacci, Allen to speak at credit union meeting

WESTBROOK – “Ready for the e-Future” will be the theme of the Maine Credit Union League’s 63rd annual convention at the Augusta Civic Center in Augusta on Friday and Saturday. Nearly 650 credit union representatives from across Maine are expected to attend the two-day convention.

Today, nearly half of the Maine population belongs to a credit union. In addition, Maine credit unions account for two-thirds of the state’s financial institutions with assets nearing $2.7 billion.

U.S. Rep. Tom Allen will speak at the Friday evening banquet and U.S. Rep. John Baldacci will speak Saturday during the Maine Credit Union League’s annual meeting. The keynote speaker at this year’s convention is Katy Slater, a nationally recognized veteran of the financial services industry and the vice president of consumer information services at NFOW FSG (formerly PSI Global, a research and consulting firm specializing in financial services). Her talk will focus on the forces that influence the financial service market and what happens next.
