King County Chapter of Credit Unions (WA)

April 2026 Webinar: AI Without the Anxiety – A Practical Guide for Credit Union Teams – Virtual Event

Join the King County Chapter for an AI webinar and roundtable with Kip Boyle, CEO of Cyber Risk Opportunities. AI is changing how credit unions operate, but most employees hear more hype and fear than practical guidance. This session cuts through both and will cover what AI does well today (and where it falls short) with examples specific to credit unions; how other credit unions are using AI in member services, lending, fraud detection and back office operations; how to evaluate AI tools without needing a technical background; and common fears and real risk: what’s worth worrying about.
