On today's CU Chat Up, I had the privilege of having the three CO-OP Think prize finalists on to discuss each of their projects. They are competing for $10,000 in seed money to get their idea started. Check out a summary of their projects and listen to the show for more details.
Candace Vogelsong's project is to help credit unions develop social media strategies using platforms such as: Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare. Small credit union - this cooperative program makes it easy.
Matt Weidler's project is to develop a system for members to use their credit union account at an ATM via their mobile phone. No ATM card - no problem.
Shari Storm's project is to create a mobile application that automatically moves money from your checking account to a special savings account, when the member forgoes a usual expense. Skip your fancy coffee today - save that money for tomorrow!
Listen or download the show here: CU Chat Up - CO-OP Think Prize Finalists or you can use the radio show player on the right of this page.
Once you have a favorite, please support them and VOTE! You can vote one time each day through May 6, 2011. (Only credit union employees are eligible to vote)
The winner will be announced at the CO-OP Think 11 conference. Registration is still open for the conference. There is an impressive line-up of speakers from different industries! If you can't attend, check back here for comprehensive coverage.
