CUbroadcast Studio Lounge interviews at
Northwest Credit Union Association's MAXX
​October 16-18, 2018, in Tacoma, WA ...

Our CUbroadcast Studio Lounge is traveled to the great northwest town of Tacoma, WA, for Northwest Credit Union Association's MAXX Convention. Once there, we interviewed the event's expert presenters, credit union attendees, vendors, and, of course, our awesome hosts from the NWCUA.

A special thank you to our stellar Studio Lounge sponsors OnApproach, CULedger, and CU Rise. And many thanks, again, to our NWCUA hosts for supporting our conference coverage of their annual conference. As a thank you, be sure to check them out when you get a chance.

​And a tradition we are started last year: For every Studio Lounge interview we conduct, we will donate $10 to Credit Unions for Kids to help Children's Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide. So sign up to chat -- the kids win, too!
