One of Callahan’s most-used resources is our Policy Exchange. The Policy Exchange is a depository of credit union-donated and Callahan-created:

  • Internal and member-facing policies
  • Documented procedures and processes
  • Member-facing communications and collateral
  • Internal, board, and NCUA-ready reports
  • Data-driven scorecards, dashboards, frameworks, questionnaires, and assessments
  • Job descriptions

The more than 600 documents now in the Policy Exchange are easy to search. Find what you need, download it, and then customize it for your own use.

Credit union leaders and industry trends drive the Policy Exchange. For example, this past spring we launched a COVID-19 Policy Exchange and collected nearly 100 documents covering health protocol, branch operations, member communications, remote work protocols, and pandemic response plans. Let us help you find what you’re looking for.
