WASHINGTON–The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) is reporting its Defense Matters 2022 will take place in two parts: an informative webinar on Feb. 24, and a networking brunch with special guest speakers on Feb. 27.
Both events will focus on providing a comprehensive update on issues important to credit unions that serve servicemembers and veterans, DCUC said.
“Last year’s virtual event was a great success, and we want to once again provide the opportunity for all of our members to get the important updates they need,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC’s president/CEO. “We also recognize the importance of meeting face-to-face and are happy to provide an opportunity for our members to gather before the GAC starts to get the latest updates and reaffirm our commitment to our servicemember and veteran communities.”
According to DCUC, the Defense Matters Broadcast will feature important updates on the 117th Congress, the Biden Administration, ongoing DoD Issues, plus important legislative and regulatory updates. Hernandez will co-anchor the event with John McKechnie, senior partner with the advocacy firm Total Spectrum, and a DCUC regular.
NCUA Vice Chair to Participate
The event will also feature a one-on-one discussion with NCUA Vice Chairman Kyle Hauptman, plus other special guest speakers. The event will be broadcast from Big Whig Studios in downtown Washington, DCUC said.
“The Defense Matters Brunch is an important networking opportunity prior to the start of CUNA's GAC for credit unions serving our military communities,” the Defense Council noted.
The morning event will feature two special guest speakers: Amy Walter (from the Cook Political Report) and LTC Roy Ross, USA, Ret. (from veteran-owned OMNICOMMANDER).
“These experts will provide attendees with vital updates on the political environment in Washington and cybersecurity, which are key topics in the for all credit unions and especially important when working with our service members,” DCUC said.
