ARLINGTON, Va.— NAFCU plans to host a State of the Industry meeting, a free, virtual event, providing insights and information it said is designed to help credit unions grow on June 25.
During the event, NAFCU said its staff and other industry experts will equip industry leaders with “the data, trends, and key takeaways that are necessary to make urgent decisions amid the coronavirus pandemic and beyond.”
Among the presentations scheduled as part of the event:
One-on-one with NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood: Following opening remarks from NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger, attendees will hear from NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood as he delivers remarks and joins Berger for a one-on-one conversation about the agency’s efforts to “provide relief for credit unions as they grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.”
Analysis and discussion of CU survey results: NAFCU Chief Economist and Vice President of Research Curt Long will unveil the results of the pre-conference survey and outline current trends facing the industry so that credit unions may properly prepare for the future. Credit unions can still participate in the survey to provide feedback.
Lending and risk management trends: Pete Hilger, president and CEO of Allied Solutions, “will dive into how the lending and risk management landscape has been vastly affected by the pandemic. Hilger will offer a forecast of what to expect that will help credit unions optimize strategic planning.”
How to navigate a post COVID-19 reality: Jim Marous will address the “new reality” in financial services and consider how the importance of serving your community digitally has become paramount.
Attendees will also hear from economists in a panel discussion on the current and future economic effects of the pandemic, in addition to NAFCU’s Government Affairs team, which will provide an update on the latest developments from the NCUA, the CFPB and Capitol Hill amid the continuously changing political landscape, the trade group said.
