ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Credit unions can now watch NCUA open board meetings live, starting with the Feb. 19 event.
NCUA Wednesday announced it will livestream open board meetings.
“This is a significant step forward in terms of agency transparency, and I want to thank Vice Chairman Metsger for initiating this idea,” NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said in a release. “Anyone interested in seeing and hearing NCUA Board meetings live will now be able to log in, follow the open Board discussions and get an immediate sense of how regulations and other policy decisions are made. Public education is part of NCUA’s mission and part of the credit union system’s philosophy, and I hope credit union stakeholders will take advantage of this opportunity to be virtually ‘in the room’ watching the policy process move forward.”
People interested in watching the Feb. 19 open Board meeting live will need to register online here. Live captioning will be provided during each meeting for the hearing-impaired, NCUA explained.
NCUA will provide a new registration link for each subsequent board meeting. The agency will continue to post video archives of open board meetings on its website.
