<p>Records are made to be broken. This is the largest weekly issue of Credit Union Times ever published. Yet, the fact that you are holding a record-breaking 120-page issue in your hands is less important to you as a reader than what our editorial staff has written to fill these pages. An issue of this size is a back breaker to plan, write, create, and produce in less than one week. But the added size allows our editors to more thoroughly cover the hundreds of credit union related newsworthy events that characterize an industry on the move. In addition, the added editorial pages make possible more in-depth pieces, more exclusives, more original photos and charts, more opinion articles, more special features, as well as an expanded version of all of the dozens of regular departments readers look for each week in Credit Union Times. In short, this issue contains something for everyone. Whatever your credit union or CU related organization position, area of expertise, or responsibilities, readers are sure to find not one but many articles useful and of interest. It is no secret that advertising demand drives the size of special issues like this one upwards. Our special thanks to the 75 advertisers, also a new record, who decided Credit Union Times is the most effective way to reach a CUNA GAC audience. -</p> <p>[email protected]</p>
