With 5 categories from operations and digital transformation to business banking and beyond, let's celebrate the rock stars in all sides of our business.    The Strong Password Initiative on MemberDirect Business (login required)  ​Passwords are one of the primary mechanisms that protect our systems and resources from unauthorized access. Poor password management and construction increases the risk of unauthorized access to our systems. To drive awareness and vigilance around this, and as part of our ongoing measures to strengthen the security of our digital banking platforms, we will be implementing a requirement for strong passwords on the MemberDirect Business (MDB) platform.  Central 1 Events September 8-10, 2019 Momentum Summit & Trade Show  (including AmpliFI Awards Ceremony) Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto   October 28-29, 2019 PeopleFocus 2019 Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, Vancouver   Industry News Credit unions B.C. residential building permits hit record high (Business in Vancouver) - Central 1 Deputy Chief Economist Bryan Yu's weekly column Economics Canada's economy shakes off doldrums, expands 0.3% in April (CBC) Bank of Canada survey suggests business sentiment picked up after declining (CTV) Canada's main stock index edges up, loonie builds on recent high ahead of holiday (The Star) Technology Retail Blockchain Deep Dive: Payments (Forbes) TD Bank internal files found online in 'keys-to-the-kingdom' cloud data exposure (Financial Post) Today in Data: Digital Banking, Millennially Mobile (PYMNTS) Fraud Woman phones number on her bank card, gets a fraudster instead (CBC) Housing / real estate Toronto condo prices see weakest growth in 5 years as tight lending rules bite (Financial Post) Housing affordability still 'dreadful' in Vancouver despite slight easing: RBC (Business in Vancouver) BC home sales will surge in 2020: forecast (Livabl) Nearly 70% of Canadians are nervous about the real estate market (Livabl) Banking Bank of Canada announces partnership to improve resilience in financial sector (Press release) Payments Solving B2B's Back-Office (Digital Payments) Challenge (PYMNTS)   Industry Events July 28-31, 2019 World Credit Union Conference The Atlantis Resort, Bahamas   September 15-17, 2019 CULA Conference - Transformative Leadership White Oaks Conference Resort Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON October 3 – 5, 2019 35th Annual Credit Union Directors' Forum   "Good Governance: The Future of Ontario's Credit Unions" Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale October 21-22, 2019 Everlink Connections 2019 Hilton Toronto Have some credit union news or events?
