CU Warrior earns his name with a come from behind effort to take first place and win the guest spot at this year’s symposium. The final results are as follows:
417 unique voters:

- The Director – Ginny Brady had a strong showing with 30.7% of the votes
- The Vendor – Thrifty CU from Jwaala came in with 18.9%
- The Loop – Andy LaFlamme claimed 9.1%
We would like to thank the following:
- The candidates for their courage and playfulness. The videos were all fantastic and made it fun to promote the contest. We admire your willingness to participate and hope the three that did not topple the CU Warrior will submit an entry for the 2009 Symposium.
- The voters – wow, we didn’t expect 417 unique voters – thank you.
- Ron Shevlin for the idea of opening the selection of a winner up to you the voters. Now, please hold true to what Ron communicated to you – show us some love by attending the event – we need you here.
- Our FORUM Solutions teammate, Dan, for coordinating all of the videos and the voting results.

This should be an absolute blast! I couldn’t be more excited about discussing thrift at the Partnership Symposium. It’s an important topic to credit unions, one that I truly feel will be key to the growth of our movement for the foreseeable future.
The Director, The Vendor, and The Loop would all make terrific guest speakers. I feel honored to even be listed with them. Maybe I can find a way to include them anyway…?

Congrats Matt! Can’t wait to see you in October!

Matt, your video is terrific and I know that the Partnership Symposium attendees will benefit from your thrift presentation. I’m not normally a competitive person but I really enjoyed this vote-off. Doug and Charlie and all our cu friends did a great job cheering us on.
Andy LaFlamme on July 14th, 2008 at 04:38 PM
Right on Matt! Congrats on a well earned victory. Really looking forward to seeing you at the symposium. Your video rocked and you’ve got a lot to offer the conference goers.
THREE CHEERS FOR THE THRIFTY WARRIOR!
