Testimonials 

  • Members First CU (Columbus, OH) "Bridget Balesky did an excellent job of integrating the concepts of ALM and interest rate risk with their practical applications to our balance sheet. The prospect of a two-hour telephone training session does not excite a credit union director. However, within minutes, they were all fully engaged and involved in the session. Many of them remarked at how quickly the session had gone for them and how much they learned. I would highly recommend this method of training to any credit union wanting to provide ALM training at any level for their directors."
  • Seven Seventeen CU (Warren, OH) "Brick & Associates' Board/ALCO Training Session helped our Board of Directors understand a very complex subject. Brick's presenter did an exceptional job breaking down a complicated topic, and presented it in an easy to understand format. This training enabled the directors to better understand management's recommendations and helped them engage in higher levels of discussions on ALM issues and decisions. Not only was this training very valuable, it also met the regulatory educational recommendations for ALM training."
