Green Banking:
- Client using Control to save waste enables Sonya to highlight some ways credit unions and community banks can go "green".
- Big Ways:
- Offer loans exclusively to environmentally sensible and socially responsible projects
- LEED certified branches
- powered through alternate means: solar, wind, hydro, geo-thermal, etc.
- 10 Easy, Everyday Ways:
- Use recycled products and recycle everything you can
- Green Cleaning Service (or green cleaning supplies)
- e-statements
- online bill pay
- direct deposit and ACH payments
- limit check use (charge per check over limited #)
- shred day
- computer recycling
- calendar of green events in your community on website
- reduce compliance documentation print-outs (where our client won a prize!)
Geek Spotlight - Continuity Control:
- The story behind Control's creation
- reading 1,000s of pages of documentation doesn't really mitigate risk, is operationally clunky and environmentally nightmarish
- The Need:
- store documents and get rid of paper
- create procedures and delegate them
- Naming the un-named product
- What Control is:
- an online place for your compliance and operations stuff
- can create tasks and delegate them
- can track task completion (status)
- report on compliance
- takes sets of tasks and places them in ActionPacks
- each ActionPack is as easy to buy as an iTune
- easy to implement, quickly get up and running
- current ActionPack library boasts 50 ActionPacks, growing steadily
- Andy announces new ActionPack: Office Recycling (Receive your free ActionPack)
