Preface & Contents By Rich Woldt

This year's workbook has six chapters. In Chapter I, we survey CUNA Mutual and Credit Union Risk Managers to "benchmark" our 2006 RM programs and projects. In Chapter II, we retrain and introduce alternative RM research and development (R&D) strategies for 2007. In Chapter III, we update RMA data sheets and review written reports to ensure we're supporting CM underwriting and claims personnel and our recommendations are being implemented at the credit union level. Chapter IV, we refresh our RM workshops and presentations and plan for a series of 2007 RM discussions and fireside chats with our Credit Union Risk Managers. In Chapter V, we take advanced training in CUNA Mutual's Unified Incident Command and Control System. This system adopts the "Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) required teaching for law enforcement, fire fighters, and emergency governments to the credit union movement. 

Finally, in Chapter VI, we write our 2007 Mission Statement and outline our RM Strategic Action Plans to support CUNA Mutual' missions in the UK.

Chapter I...Benchmarking compares the status of each RM project to the expectations we had when we wrote our project mission statements and strategic action plans. Benchmarking help us measure our accomplishments, identify process improvements, and focus our RM training in 2007. Click here to begin Chapter I...
Chapter II...The internet has opened new research and development (R&D) "windows" of opportunity. Our R&D can now focuse on a specific credit union, community, or region in which CUNA Mutual has a concentration of bonded credit unions or potential for a larger than expected claim.   Click here to begin Chapter II... 
Chapter III...Data sheets are hard to live them yet we can't do our job with out them! They are a necessary tool we use to identify and measure risks we're pooling for the UK credit union movement, and they're our first line of defense when someone challenges our recommendations. Click here to begin Chapter III...
 Chapter IV..."Hand a credit union a loaf of bread and we feed them for a day! Teach them to plant wheat and we feed them for a life time! RM programs, presentations, and workshops in 2007 will continue to guide and direct but they'll also focus more on cross training in the UK credit union movement and building international RM partnerships between all CUNA Mutual markets.  Click here to begin Chapter IV...
Chapter V...Katrina initially inflicted massive property and casualty losses, however, it was the subsequent breakdown in social order and response protocols that spiraled P&C and fidelity bond losses out of control. CUNA Mutual's "unified" Incident Command and Control System, tested in the Caribbean during Hurricane Ivan, stands mission ready to deploy during the next natural disaster, terrorist attack, pandemic, or community crisis.  Click here to begin Chapter V.
Chapter VI... Mission statements make sure everyone is on the same page. Strategic action plans make sure everyone is mission ready, aware of their responsibilities, and empowered to act! Click here to begin Chapter VI
