NAFCU Network Spotlight: Q&A with Members 1st of NJ FCU's Marya Cabatingan
NAFCU's inside look at its seven complimentary, member-only networks continues today with a Q&A featuring Members 1st of New Jersey Federal Credit Union Marketing and Business Development Specialist Marya Cabatingan. As credit unions face unprecedented challenges, Cabatingan touts the responsiveness and innovativeness of Marketing & Growth Network members to help solve problems. See what else she had to say about the network.
Q: Why did you become a member of the NAFCU Marketing & Growth Network?
A: I became a member of the NAFCU Marketing & Growth Network because I wanted to see what NAFCU had to offer and what kind of things I could delve into as a new marketing specialist at my credit union.
Q: What would you say is the biggest benefit of participating in the network?
A: The biggest benefit of participating in the network is the access to help! The discussions are great to read through, because for me, there are concepts I had not even thought of. Then, when I do need help or advice, I can easily post what I need help with and someone readily replies.
Q: What advice would you give to those who have recently joined the network?
A: If you just joined, definitely read through the old discussions. Have an open mind. Subscribe to the discussions. You don’t want to miss topics.
Q: What do you think will be the biggest challenge facing credit union marketing professionals in the next year? How can the network help the industry address it?
A: I think the biggest challenge will be the pandemic. I know calendars are not set in stone, but the pandemic certainly makes it harder to follow any calendar. Who knows if our in-person events will resume, but the network is so helpful to get additional insight. Like with the annual meeting! I received so much feedback about how other credit unions conducted theirs virtually and it was a huge help.
