ALEXANDRIA, Va.–NCUA said it will host its third DEI Summit on Nov. 2-4 in northern Virginia. It will also be available virtually.
The meeting, themed“All-In on DEI & ACCESS,” is a reference to the agency’s Advancing Communities through Credit, Education, Stability and Support (ACCESS) program.
According to NCUA, the two-and-a-half day, hybrid event will bring together professionals from credit unions and other financial institutions to:

NCUA said the Summit will include panel discussions with experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion along with fireside chats, roundtables, and keynote speakers.
Session topics cover a wide range of DEI-related areas like how to build a successful DEI program; including programs for the LGBTQ+ and disability communities, cryptocurrency and the unbanked, digital access, and inclusive lending.
‘Particularly Timely’
Speakers include NCUA Chairman Todd M. Harper, Vice Chairman Kyle Hauptman, and Board Member Rodney E. Hood.
“This summit is particularly timely as the business case for diversity, equity and inclusion grows stronger and stranger,” said Harper. “The All-in on DEI & Access summit will bring together prominent speakers to share their thought leadership on DEI and how adopting these principles benefit all.”
The event will be held at the Hilton Dulles Washington Airport.
