HERNDON, VA (June 29, 2015) — Harmonie Taddeo, Compliance Manager at Northwest Federal Credit Union, spoke Tuesday at the National Association of Federal Credit Union’s 48th Annual Conference and Solutions Expo, held this year in Montreal, Canada. The session, entitled “Top 5 Benefits of an Integrated Compliance Function” addressed the importance of a credit union’s compliance function keeping executive management abreast of new and changing regulations and how best to do so. Taddeo also spoke to the need for credit unions’ compliance departments to actively participate in the roll out of new products.
“I was honored to be asked to speak at NAFCU’s annual conference,” said Taddeo. “Doing so allowed me to share my experiences incorporating compliance considerations and complaint management practices into Northwest Federal’s enterprise-wide projects, which benefits Northwest Federal as an organization and ultimately our members.”
