SEATTLE, WA — June 27, 2011 — Today Momentum and the Credit Union Association of the Dakotas announced they will host a free national webinar to benefit the victims of natural disasters that have recently hit the nation.  The webinar, titled “In the Face of Disaster”, will be held on Thursday, June 30^th at 12pm EDT (11am CDT) and will bring together a national panel of speakers who have direct experience with credit union disaster recovery efforts.

The goal of the webinar is to educate and inform credit unions in three specific areas; 1. How can credit unions guide and direct members to FEMA resources, 2.  What types of FEMA loans can credit unions offer to members who are rebuilding, and 3.  What type of risk model should credit unions use to anticipate loan defaults?

The webinar panel includes credit union executives with experience dealing with natural disasters (related to storm, wind and water damage) such as Hurricane Katrina, as well as professionals with more than 20 years of experience in the field of disaster planning, mitigations and recovery.  Speakers include:

• Dawn Harris, EVP-COO of Campus Federal Credit Union in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
• Dave Mistick, President of Circumspex, a disaster recovery expert and consultant
• Amy Johnson, Director of Learning, Credit Union Association of the Dakotas

“With thousands of credit union members being affected by the recent wave of natural disasters, we felt it would be an appropriate time to offer advice and resources to the credit unions that are fighting hard to serve them”, said Amy Johnson, Director of Learning for the Credit Union Association of the Dakotas.
