February 2016 NCUA board video available
ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 14, 2016) — The video recording of the February 2016 open meeting of the National Credit Union Administration Board is now available on the agency’s website.
Archived videos of past Board meetings may be viewed here, and each video remains on the site for one year.
At the February open meeting, the NCUA Board approved a final rule giving federally insured credit unions greater flexibility and autonomy to offer member-business loans in a safe and sound manner.
The Chief Financial Officer also briefed the Board on the performance of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which had a net income of $61.3 million for 2015.
NCUA posts these videos as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to provide transparency and to allow those unable to attend Board meetings the opportunity to become better informed. An interval between the meeting and posting is necessary for the videos to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for the hearing and visually impaired.
The Board Actions page of NCUA’s website has more information, including Board agendas, which are posted at least one week in advance of each open meeting, copies of Board Action Bulletins, which summarize the meetings, copies of Board memorandums and other documents.
