SUMMARY:Stablecoins and The Future of Money: What Credit Unions Need to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with The League\, the Mississippi Credit Union Association\, and the Tennessee League.  \nStablecoins are a fast-emerging form of digital money that combine crypto technology with the stability of the U.S. dollar. For credit unions\, they signal a potential shift in how payments are made\, recorded\, and settled—introducing both opportunity and disruption. \nThis webinar will explain what stablecoins are\, why they matter\, and how they could affect credit union operations and member relationships. Participants will explore the leadership and board’s role in setting strategic direction\, ensuring innovation aligns with cooperative values\, and preparing their institution for the next evolution of digital payments. \nPresenter: Lamont Black is a nationally recognized speaker\, former Federal Reserve economist\, and trusted guide for leaders navigating the future of finance. He helps executives\, boards\, and innovation teams make sense of emerging technologies—without the hype. \nDrawing on deep experience across financial services\, including credit unions and community institutions\, Lamont brings clarity to complex topics like artificial intelligence\, digital assets\, and financial innovation. His work connects technology\, strategy\, and real-world decision-making—helping audiences understand not just what’s changing\, but what it means for them. \nNote: You will choose “OTHER” where it says credit union. Once you start writing other in there\, it will give you a drop-down choice. It will then ask you to manually fill in your CU information. The next page asks for a donation for their foundation; however\, you can click through that and not choose to do so. \nRegister
