TULSA, Okla. — Charting what could become a new regional "model" in the management and operation of state leagues, the Oklahoma Credit Union League disclosed Thursday it is working toward a partnership with the Texas Credit Union League to outsource a broad package of services.

Addressing the annual meeting of the league here, Michael Kloiber, chairman, said a service contract with the Texas League still being studied was the "best solution" for the trade group to move forward in light of shrinking membership rolls and "economies of scale."

In his remarks, Kloiber, who also is president/CEO of Tinker FCU in Oklahoma City, forecast "a cut in staff" if the Texas League offer is accepted but that the trade group would retain much of its existing governmental structure and committees with "advocacy" and government affairs run from new headquarters in Oklahoma City to open next year.
