"The amount donated to CMN Hospitals during THINK 16 is a testimony to the people-helping-people ethic of credit unions," said Stan Hollen, President/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services (

"TNS is focused on supporting organizations that help provide a brighter future for children," said Mike Keegan, Chief Executive Officer of TNS (

A tradition of the THINK conferences, the 2016 meeting included charitable events for attendees on May 3 and May 6. Activities included a sailing regatta, a behind-the-scenes tour of the San Diego Zoo, a tour of the USS Midway, a bicycle tour and "Cooking the (Hotel del Coronado) Way."
