Strategies to Grow and Expand Your Construction Lending Program

Strategies to Grow and Expand Your Construction Lending Program

Tuesday, March 7, 2023, 1:00 p.m. central time

Session Description

Construction loans are a vital product for Credit Unions to offer their members. Limited housing inventory in communities across the country will drive demand for new construction for years to come, opening many opportunities for credit unions to grow and expand their construction lending programs.

Join this panel discussion with industry veterans to provide insight into strategies that will help grow your programs and provide more value to your members. Topics will cover opportunities in construction lending, expanding your loan offerings, building a strong team, reaching new markets, and scaling your operations.
