WASHINGTON (March 19, 2012) – National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board Chairman Debbie Matz today announced her plan to host “Listening Sessions” across America from May through July.
 
“What you have to say is important, and sometimes it helps to discuss issues face-to-face,” Chairman Matz told more than 4,000 officials at the Credit Union National Association’s Governmental Affairs Conference. “That is why, over the next three months, NCUA will hold Listening Sessions in all regions of the country. We want to hear directly from you about how we can improve our examination process, how we can reduce or streamline our regulations, and anything else that’s on your mind.”
 
Chairman Matz is planning Listening Sessions for the following dates, times, and locations:

• May 2​, 1:00 – 4:00 EDT​, Boston​, ​NCUA Region 1​
• May 9, 1:00 – 4:00 EDT​​, Alexandria​, ​NCUA Region 2​
• June 5​, 1:00 – 4:00 CDT​​, St. Louis​, ​NCUA Region 4​
• June 12​, 1:00 – 4:00 EDT​​, Orlando​, ​NCUA Region 3​
• July 10​, 1:00 – 4:00 PDT​​, San Diego​, ​NCUA Region 2​
• July 31​, 1:00 – 4:00 MDT​​, Denver​, ​NCUA Region 5​
