As we currently play a very serious game of whack-a-mole trying to douse numerous coronavirus spikes nationwide, thousands and thousands of businesses are doing their darndest to re-open and get on with the business of earning a living. To say the least, it is a precarious process for most -- including credit unions.

To get a backstage look at what goes on with re-opening a credit union, we invited Ocean Financial Federal Credit Union President/CEO Joe Tedesco on the show. Being in the New York City area (Long Island), Joe has seen the worst of this pandemic and what it can do to communities bringing them to virtual standstills personally, professionally, and financially. It's crushing.

But, thankfully, that time has passed in New York, and they have commenced with the very careful and painstaking process of opening businesses throughout the area. Joe shares his credit union's plans, contingency plans, timing of re-opening, adjustments to nearby spikes, remote workers, office space, clear communication, safety steps, and more -- along with a bit of advice, as well.

An incredible, up-close look at what one credit union is doing to get back to business, while being extremely safety conscious for its staff and members. It's a high wire act of balancing business vs. safety. Check it out and let us know your thoughts -- and how you are re-opening, as well.
