Last week, I traveled to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, WI to attend the Wisconsin Credit Union League Convention and Expo with my colleagues Jen Anthony, Steven Koss, and Megan Wisner. Over a packed three-day schedule (no time for waterslides, unfortunately) I learned a lot, spent quality time with our team, and watched Jen, our VP of Cybersecurity and Risk, lead a breakout session about Emerging Cybersecurity Trends. But what really left an impression on me was the time we all spent together with our clients and friends at the booth, in intimate breakout sessions, and over dinners....our motto is "People Before Technology" after all! ...speaking of mottos - I can’t stop thinking about Wisconsin’s: “Forward!” When reflecting on the theme of Forward, I'm proud to be working with all of the Wisconsin credit union clients our team at Think|Stack has helped to: - Advance and modernize their IT infrastructure - Chart a path to the cloud (AWS & Azure) - Improve their overall cybersecurity posture - Implement exciting new technologies such as AI while accounting for the associated IT burdens - Strategize about their organizational structure to optimize and innovate around their team's strengths - Eliminate their IT project backlogs and vulnerability remediations from recent audits - Enable their internal IT teams to grow, thrive and focus on serving members - Build alignment within the credit union - Create a technology roadmap & plan that matches the organizational growth goals - ...and so much more If you're looking to move your Wisconsin credit union's IT "forward" in the coming months, we'd love to share what we've learned through supporting other CUs in your community, introduce you to our clients, and serve as a trusted resource for you and your team. Reach out to our team today to discuss how we can plot your course FORWARD. ## About the Author ![Shawn Flaherty](https://www.thinkstack.co/hubfs/Shawn%20Flaherty.png) ### Shawn Flaherty sflaherty@thinkstack.co 410.925.3583 ## Related Blog Articles [![](https://www.thinkstack.co/hubfs/Cloud%202(mini).jpg) peoplebeforetech Pt 2: What is "the cloud" and why should we use it?
