About the blog

It's a simple math problem. The average age of a credit union member is 10 years older than the average age of a North American. If credit unions do not reverse the trend and attract the next generation of credit union members, the future doesn't look so bright.

The Why Gen Y Blog has a simple mission: to equip credit union executives and marketers with relevant information that will help them succeed in attracting and retaining new Generation Y members.

Wow, some of you really want that iPad!

I am technically on vacation this week, so I have been non-existent on the Internet. I am loving the downtime, but I am missing so much awesome chatter about our Lookin' Like a Fool with your Money in a Bank Music Video Contest!

I know that everyone is hussling for votes like crazy and there is some pretty heavy-duty online electioneering taking place! I'm sorry that I have not been an active participant in all the fun.

Here are a couple of the things that have made me smile.

And...

The votes keep streaming in by the bucket full. I will tell you that two of the top five are new and we have a new leader since my last report!

Tim
