FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Registration Now Open for NCUA
Outreach Task Force “Town Hall” Meetings

March 14, 2007, Alexandria, VA – National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board Member Gigi Hyland announced that registration is now open for the first two of six upcoming Outreach Task Force “Town Hall” meetings. To access the schedule and to register, please visit NCUA’s website at: http://www.ncua.gov/TH-Outreach/Index.htm

NCUA’s Outreach Task Force was created to review the recommendations from the Member Service Assessment Pilot Program (MSAP) and advise the NCUA Board based upon these findings. The Task Force is comprised of NCUA staff members and is Chaired by Board Member Hyland. The Town Hall meetings will provide attendees an opportunity to share their ideas on the issues under consideration with the Task Force. 

The first Town Hall meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 18, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Board Member Hyland expects a lively discussion. “The Outreach Task Force is committed to listening to the voice of the credit union community,” stated Board Member Hyland. “It is vital that we hear firsthand insights regarding the MSAP and enhancing service to members. These Town Hall meetings will provide an ideal forum for an open dialogue about the most important challenges and opportunities facing credit unions and their members.”
