Callahan & Associates Announces It’s Final Two Weeks To Register For Sustainable Business Strategy

Jill Sammons

​Callahan & Associates is excited to kick off another session of Sustainable Business Strategy this August. This virtual and interactive professional-development program offered in collaboration with Harvard Business School Online is designed to teach credit union executives to successfully lead with purpose. The program includes three online modules accompanied by three interactive discussions, one capstone program, and Callahan’s annual Purpose Symposium.

The content and group discussions take place virtually and require minimal time away from the office. This program was also designed to facilitate discussions and share insights with other industry leaders.

As the credit union landscape continues to evolve, it's never been more important to invest in professional development. By participating in Sustainable Business Strategy, credit union leaders are opening the door to develop the skills necessary to identify new opportunities, think differently and enhance member experiences while staying true to your credit union's purpose and values.

More than 100 executives from nearly 200 credit unions nationwide have already completed the course.

Many credit union decision-makers have found this course extremely beneficial to learn new contexts and mindsets for being truly purpose-driven and values-based.

“We plan to send more employees through Sustainable Business Strategy in the future and see courses like this as a solid investment overall.” says Jill Sammons, senior vice president of marketing, well-being and financial advisors at BCU in Vernon Hills, IL, and a 2022 veteran of SBS. “Aligning teams around Sustainable Business Strategy can help employees find their purpose and increase engagement. That’s a major advantage when recruiting and retaining talent is challenging.”
