As the first month of 2025 takes shape, most credit unions have spent significant time formulating a definition of success. As an industry, we have no shortage of metrics, most of which are financially grounded. The balanced scorecard for most credit unions includes some measure of member experience, a set of growth targets (e.g., deposits, loans, membership), return on assets, capital, and potentially an expense control measure.

Community isn’t just about networking—it’s about belonging, growth, and finding the strength to tackle life’s biggest challenges. When you’re part of a supportive community, you realize that success is never a solo journey. And that’s why Community is the word I’ve chosen for 2025.

Let me set the scene for you: I’m sitting at my kitchen table the night before Halloween. There are huge bags of candy next to me that I’m preparing to hand out in 24 hours. The television is on in the living room, and I can hear political pundits talking about an election that is happening next week. And I’m working on a CUInsight article that will be published roughly two weeks after Election Day. It’s eerie to me that I’m writing about the future as if it’s so far away.

Do you remember the proverbial “watercooler chat?” Or even catching up in the breakroom in the morning? When topics ranged from the game last night to who got voted off the island in Survivor? Maybe you talked about work for a bit, but most of the conversation was warming up for the day and building relationships with our colleagues. Flash forward to 2024. It’s tougher to recruit and retain top talent and all of us seem to be running faster than ever.
