RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (March 21, 2012) – Chris Berman, who joined fledging ESPN in 1979, and remains there still as one of the best known sportscasters in America, has joined the roster of featured speakers for the THINK 12 Conference.

THINK 12 will take place Sunday, April 29-Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, in Florida. Produced annually by CO-OP Financial Services, this is the first THINK Conference to be held on the east coast.

The featured speakers at THINK 12 will be focusing on the topics of cult brand, reinvention and creativity as means of addressing credit union industry issues. Berman will be tackling cult brand, drawing on the corporate success of the ESPN cable television network. He is something of a cult brand himself, known for catch phrases like “He could…go…all…the…way!” and “Back-back-back-back”, and punning nick-names for players such as “Bert ‘Be Home’ Blyleven.”

Other featured speakers scheduled for the THINK 12 Conference include:

  • Billy Beane, Oakland A’s General Manager and subject of the book and movie “Moneyball;”
  • Jeff Baxter, guitarist for groups such as Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers, and now a national security consultant;
  • Dr. Jeff Norris of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory;
  • Alexis Maybank of Gilt Group;
  • Brett King, financial industry author and advisor; and
  • Valerie Morris, financial journalist.
