He will be joined in Friday’s webcast by NAFCU Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt, Director of Research and Chief Economist Curt Long and Director of Regulatory Affairs Alicia Nealon.

Scheduled from 1-2:30 p.m. Eastern, the Jan. 23 webcast give attendees a multi-faceted look at the proposed rule’s impact on credit unions; attendees will be able to ask questions of Fazio and the NAFCU representatives. Members and nonmembers may attend; registration for the free webcast is open now.

Hunt said members should keep an eye out for additional materials this week that will help them analyze and respond to NCUA’s new proposed rule. “We will provide you the tools you need to determine the proposal’s full impact on your credit union and to communicate your concerns to NCUA,” she said.
