Preparing for threats takes center stage at NAFCU’s new risk management seminar

WASHINGTON, DC (April 28, 2015) – Credit union risk professionals will gather to learn and share risk management insights during the National Association of Federal Credit Unions’ (NAFCU) first-ever Risk Management Seminar in Denver, which takes place Aug. 3-5 at the Grand Hyatt Denver.

“Our members asked for this, and we’re happy to deliver this new program for them,” said NAFCU Executive Vice President and COO Anthony Demangone. “Attendees will learn techniques to implement a risk management program that meets NCUA expectations and more. We also want attendees to bring their current risk management plans. Our goal is that attendees will leave with a firm understanding of what NCUA wants, the latest trends in risk management, and what other credit unions around the country are doing in this area.”

NAFCU’s Risk Management Seminar, sponsored by NAFCU Services Corporation, is open to every credit union professional. The early-bird deadline to save on conference registration fees is June 5. Visit www.nafcu.org/risk to learn more and register.

Risk Management Seminar speakers include NCUA Director of Examination and Insurance Larry Fazio; U.S. Agency for International Development Director of Government to Government Risk Management Doug Webster; Pentagon Federal Credit Union CEO James Schenck and Senior Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management Angela Patel; and many leading credit union risk management professionals.

Attendees can earn the new designation of NAFCU Certified Risk Manager (NCRM) by taking and passing an optional exam during the seminar. Current NAFCU Certified Compliance Officers (NCCOs) who attend the seminar are able to receive partial credit/continuing education credits (CEUs) that can be applied to their NCCO certification.
