No-charge webinar focuses on risk-based capital proposal
(March 14, 2014) — The proposed rule on “risk-based capital” – recently issued by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) – is the focus of a free March 19 webinar sponsored by CUNA and the state leagues and associations, and which is open to participants from CUNA-member credit unions.
“The proposal could have a dramatic impact on the credit union system,” said CUNA Deputy General Counsel Mary Dunn. “CUNA and the Leagues want to make sure credit union officials are well informed, not only about the various provisions of the proposal but also about its likely effect on credit unions’ operations.”
The webinar will highlight several areas related to the proposal:
- Its key aspects;
- The financial impact;
- Top legal issues;
- Efforts on-going by CUNA/Leagues;
- Actions credit unions can take to voice their own views
Speakers will include credit union CEOs who will share their perspectives on the proposal’s impact as well as CUNA President and CEO Bill Cheney, Chief Economist Bill Hampel, General Counsel Eric Richard and Deputy General Counsel Dunn.
The webinar will be limited to the first 500 CUNA member registrants. However, it will be archived within 24 hours for member credit unions who want to hear it for the first time or listen again.
