Current Issues in Credit Unions
A podcast about credit unions and the issues they face daily hosted by attorneys who work in the credit union movement.
This month, Hal Scoggins is in for Brian Witt and we have Denise Wymore as our special guest.

Our format for the show is a little different this month.  Denise chats with us about Net Promoter Score and why she doesn’t like overdraft protection.  Guy talks about new developments in CUSO law and we finish with a brief discussion of credit unions and coffee houses.

Denise’s book is available here.
