This series of posts will outline the sessions at the 2008 Partnership Symposium.
Session Speaker
Morriss Partee, Chief Experience Officer, EverythingCU.com
Session Overview
EverythingCU.com started in the year 2000 as an idea, and has since blossomed into an active online community of 5,863 credit union professionals, with a focus on marketing and business development. In this session, Morriss will share the top 5 success strategies that make an online community thrive (as well as be profitable). Credit unions inherently have every one of these success factors available to them, only they currently lie dormant. We’ll examine how you can apply each of these practices to revitalize your CU’s web presence.
Session Notes
Andy LaFlamme, Marketing Specialist, Maine State Credit Union, has put together some great notes on the highlights of this session.
7 points of a successfully engaged community:
- Have a common bond or purpose
- Make them the rock stars
- Give them a voice
- Make it easy
- Its alive (there are people behind the pages)
- Make it easy to refer a friend
- Merge online and offline communities and activities

What an event indeed! The Symposium was even better than I had imagined. It was great to meet everyone in person and get to know them a bit more.
Also, the presentations (and those presenting) were excellent. We’re lucky to have had Open Source filming them so that everyone else can catch up on what was missed.
