Bev Brown
President, Envision Financial
What’s your top goal for 2010?
We’ve come off several years of growth at Envision and now it’s starting to resume again, so successfully realigning our infrastructure so that, as growth resumes, we can leverage it.
In your world, what needs to happen to make the year a success?
As markets begin recovering, there’s always a temptation – I can feel it in our company – to take a wait-and-see approach and not take any risks or take a stance. For us it’s going to be critical that we keep our opportunity radar wide open. That’s hard to do when you’re looking inwardly.
If you could wave a magic wand, what would appear – or disappear – on Jan. 1?
Pro-business legislation that would allow credit unions to merge and expand extra-provincially. It’s something we’ve been trying to do by working through the TILMA process and through [lobbying for] legislation nationally, and we haven’t quite got there yet.
