2009 ignite innovations
Team name: Bedtime Stories
Project name: GetIT!
Team Members: Kevin Sparks, Tony Meier, Michael Hostetler, Gary Icenogle, Evelyn Royer
Project elements: This is a draw and discard-style financial literacy card game for children ages 8-14.
Team Name: Mall Cops
Project name: Sign & Share Account
Team Members: Blake Dearing, Carolyn Probasco, Kevin Kosek, Becky Summers, Jim Johnson
Project elements: Your autograph rewards charities. This innovation allows members to make donations to charities by using a credit union-based debit card.
Team name: Team Eagle Eye
Project name: Skip 'n Flip Savings
Team Members: Tim Lukomski, Sam Shanks, Kathy Sullivan, Chad Gramling, Michelle Peterson
Project elements: When members choose to skip a payment on their loan using a credit union’s existing “skip a payment” option,” the credit union assists them in establishing an emergency savings account by “flipping” all or part of the skipped payment into a Skip n Flip Account.
Team name: Team Vision
Project name: Collaboration on 529 Plans
Team Members: Joe Hasto, Debby Blake, Lora Davison
Project elements: This innovation would allow members to choose a credit union investment options in their 529 college savings plans which also would have a state of Indiana tax benefit. This group is working with state government officials to develop the product. Time horizon is 12-15 months.
2008 ignite Innovations
Team name: The Combustible 5
Project name: Connect U
Team Members: Lora Davison, Northern Indiana FCU; Blake Dearing, FORUM CU; Gary Icenogle, NorthPark Community CU; Charles King, Hoosier Hills CU; Kathy Sullivan, REGIONAL FCU
Project elements: An interactive site which will allow both current members and potential members to network, exchange information, seek advice, share ideas, promote themselves or their businesses, and provide educational information. Connect U will transform a credit union’s Web site into a community center. The focus is on peer-to-peer networking and learning instead of the traditional credit union to member model. The credit union is more of a facilitator in this model. This group has several ideas that they are working on to make such a site niche-focused and to differentiate it from all of the noise in networking sites such as FaceBook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.
Team Name: iCITTE
Project name: CU Thru Life
Team Members: Jim Johnson, Three Rivers FCU; Tony Meier, Evansville Teachers FCU; Marie “Sam” Shanks, Indiana State University FCU; Kevin Sparks, Crane FCU; Becky Summers, Teachers CU
Project elements: Similar to Connect U, but solely focused on life stages. This group is aiming to provide a network of members to facilitate discussion and learning around specific life stages. Members would be involved to help manage the different life stage areas on the site, which would minimize the amount of credit union staff time to monitor and maintain it.
Team name: Taped Crusaders
Project name: DriveUp Savings
Team Members: Chad Gramling, Three Rivers FCU; Joe Hasto, Eli Lilly FCU; Michelle Peterson, Marion School ECU; Evelyn Royer, Purdue EFCU; Brian Wilkerson, KEMBA CU
Project elements: This group is piggybacking on one of the i3 group projects called Auto Savings, only with an interesting twist— the DriveUp Savings product is a savings account, such as a certificate, that is opened at the same time a member closes on their auto loan. The loan officer and member agree on a monthly contribution amount and through automated electronic transfers, the DriveUp Savings is funded at the same time the member makes an auto loan payment. This product offers the same rate to a member for both their savings account and their auto loan. More information is available at the group’s Web site www.driveupsavings.org.
Team name: Perspective
Project name: FYI Savings – For Young Individuals
Team Members: Debby Blake, FORUM CU; Michael Hostetler, Finance Center FCU; Kevin Kosek, REGIONAL FCU; Tim Lukomski, Heritage FCU; Carolyn Probasco, Members United FCU
Project elements: This unique savings concept is similar to a 401(k), but was created specifically for young individuals. It includes an open enrollment period, a match from the credit union, and other unique components to encourage savings for young people. The funds would not be available until the child reaches the age of 18, and are intended to be used for significant life events such as college, purchase of a home, etc.
