Is Social Networking Right For You

Not sure if social networking is for you? Here are a few examples of how some of our fellow firefighters credit unions are using the Social network.

These are just a few examples of how firefighter credit unions are marketing to and hearing from their members. We will have a session Wednesday, at the Firefighters Summit, on the Social Media and You!

IWS in its continued support of the Coalition & Conference is now a GOLD SPONSOR

IWS is a nationally recognized provider of Vehicle Service Agreements (VSA), Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI) and GAP to credit unions nationwide.
We provide vehicle protection solutions and peace of mind for credit union IWSmembers that go beyond the actual products to include service after the sale. Our proven success in meeting this need is based on our ability to train credit unions to match members with the right product to fit their need.
Our goal is to be a responsive financial partner to our clients. Achieving it means having the ability to understand the challenges of operating a business in today's competitive environment. We believe this capability is what separates us from our competitors. Our success is proven by the long term relationships we build with our clients, which in turn allow them to be successful.

Firefighters Credit Union Summit San Antonio, TX 10/3-6/2010

 
San Antonio TX is the site of the 2010 Firefighters' National Credit Union Summit. The hotel location is the Omni La Mansion del Rio on the Riverwalk and set for October 3-6, 2010.
AFCUSan Antonio is the second-largest city in the state of Texas and the seventh-largest city in the United States. Centrally located in the heart of Texas, San Antonio offers a blend of charm, vibrancy and color. There is much to do for large and small groups-we attribute it to our unique culture. When Tex-Mex meets Old West the atmosphere is rich: the river passages colorful, the cuisine even more flavorful, and the people genuine. So round up the group and come join us in San Antonio!
