Underwriting & Collections Workshop
June 21-22, Baton Rouge

Pierre Cardenas returns to LCUL for this 2 day program that uncovers the lost art of underwriting and it's delicate counterpart...Collections.

When asked why the two roles are taught in tandem, Pierre's reply is simple "I find there to be a tremendous amount of value when Collectors & Underwriters come together to discuss loan applications, risk mitigating factors and both understand the areas of weakness with different portfolios. I highly recommend that credit unions  get into the practice of having underwriters & collectors meet monthly to discuss delinquencies, charge offs and trends they see in applications."   Come join us to discover how to make for a more complete risk mitigating process!

Pierre uses your own credit union as a teaching tool, so be prepared to bring some actual loans (the difficult ones especially) for analysis, dissection and group discussion!  
  
Here's a taste of what to expect:
  • Evaluating, Mitigating & Managing Risk
  • Building Loan Portfolios
  • The important role Policies play in underwriting
  • Risks associated with 7 different portfolio types
  • Best Practices in Collections
  • Strategic Collection Strategies vary per portfolio type
  • Interactive, hands-on session delving into your own CU's actual loans & denied applications!
  • Best Practices, Networking & Discussion of issues you face in your Credit Union daily.
