MADISON, Wis.–The World Council of Credit Unions and CUNA said they will host a webinar on Sept. 21 titled “An International Perspective on Financial Inclusion, Social Justice and Credit Union Regulatory Advocacy.”
NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood will be part of the virtual discussion.
In this webinar, Hood will discuss the opportunity credit unions across the world have to expand efforts related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and financial inclusion to promote social and racial justice, the organizations said.
In addition, WOCCU CEO Brian Branch and CUNA CEO Jim Nussle will also participate in the discussion around credit union commitment to inclusion and to social justice.
“Chairman Hood will also speak to the influence that international standard setters have on regulations that affect all of us,” the organizations said. “Jim Nussle will address the critical advocacy strategy which CUNA implements in the age of COVID-19, and Brian Branch will profile the international advocacy work World Council of Credit Unions does on behalf of credit unions to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden and achieve greater financial inclusion.”
Greg Neumann, corporate communications manager for World Council, will moderate the event.
“Our goal for the webinar is to help credit unions worldwide learn how they can get involved and stay abreast of efforts to expand DEI and financial inclusion efforts, while keeping track of the influence that international regulations have on credit unions ability to achieve diversity, equity and inclusion,” the organizations said.
The webinar is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
