“Now more than ever, credit unions need to be well-informed of the pending compliance matters from regulatory agencies,” said JiJi Bahhur, NAFCU Certified Compliance Officer and director of regulatory compliance. “This event will provide credit unions’ regulatory compliance teams with the latest knowledge to help them successfully handle the obstacles ahead.”

By attending Seminar, NAFCU Certified Compliance Officers (NCCO’s) whose designation is expiring this year can earn the full 24 CEUs needed to recertify without having to retake the exams.

The Seminar, sponsored by NAFCU Services Corporation, will provide attendees networking opportunities with other credit union professionals.
