Your Resource for Improving Credit Union Strategy, Leadership and Culture
Helping Credit Union Professionals Improve Performance
There are three fundamentals that drive credit union performance: Strategy, leadership and culture. Credit Union Strategy was created by Dr. Michael Hudson as a resource for credit union professionals and board members who want to improve these three areas and the overall performance of their credit union.
A credit union member for almost 50 years, Dr. Hudson is a frequent speaker at credit union conferences and conventions across the country. He works with individual credit unions to identify and implement strategies, design and deliver leadership programs, and create and conduct culture building programs.
Since 1984 Dr. Hudson has worked with over 1,000 growing businesses, government agencies, credit unions, and non-profit organizations in a broad spectrum of industries, helping them define and implement strategies for growth, leadership development, and employee engagement.
Michael engages, enthuses, and energizes his clients by challenging them to discover and reveal the true potential of their businesses and their people. He combines his knowledge of diverse industries with his awareness of popular trends and approaches to craft powerful, dynamic programs that help businesses define and capture their unique position in the marketplace.
Our Credit Union has worked with Michael closely over the past several years. Under his leadership he helped us to define our role as a board. We learned how to govern and to deliberate the issues and come to informed decisions which benefited the membership. We recognized the importance of the Chain of Command and how important it was to board/staff relationship, and we viewed ourselves as part of one team with a common mission—service. Michael showed us how to be leaders and to focus on our skills to achieve optimum results. What we learned as a Board from his service was one of the best investments we ever made. We are truly a better Board because if it.

Inviting Dr. Michael Hudson to our team at the Delaware State Police Federal Credit Union has proved to be a great investment for us, which has provided many positive returns to our credit union membership. Since 2007, Michael’s insight, knowledge, experience and direction have helped enhance the working relationship and cohesiveness of our Board of Directors, Management Team and family of employees. We have successfully become more creative in thinking and planning for our future as the result of our sessions with Michael. Collectively, I believe that our vision, strategic plans and future goals have become more realistic and attainable because of the assistance that Michael has provided along the way. I strongly encourage others to look into what Michael may have to offer and/or help them meet the specific needs of their respective organizations.
