Randy Karnes CEO, CU*Answers Biography We have a simple goal: to expand the capabilities of our partners so that they can remain relevant in the lives of their members. We believe that we need to work on that goal day in and day out. For us it starts with a perspective that is bigger than life and pulls us forward. We work hard to be a catalyst for innovation and collaboration, and to be a key force in the constant renewal of the industry's focus on today's credit union member. CU*Answers is an energetic business network of 175 credit unions and multiple CUSOs approaching serving well over one million members. Our foundation is a technical network based on the CU*BASE® core processing suite. But we go far beyond a data processing solution. From the front lines of credit union lobbies all the way to the desktops of credit union members at work and at home, CU*Answers partners with credit unions to make sure that members receive the services they need and the returns they deserve. With over 70 credit union owners, we're more than a vendor; we are a credit union partner. CU*Answers participates actively in the industry as a vested credit union team. Mr. Karnes has been a Board member of Callahan & Associates since 2001, and is a co-founder of the Member Value Network along with Ed Callahan and Chip Filson. Mr. Karnes is an active commentator and contributor in the industry through forums such as www.creditunions.com and www.cuanswers.com. The CU*Answers team regularly participates in industry events, from local Leagues to the national scene. Mr. Karnes is also an active speaker and facilitator for credit union Board planning sessions and educational events. |
