November 30, 2009 Alexandria, Va. – National Credit Union Administration Chairman Debbie Matz today announced details of the next round of NCUA Town Hall meetings. The sessions, similar to those held this fall, as part of an Agency effort to receive stakeholder input about the corporate rulemaking process and other important issues, will be held in Dallas, Texas, Friday, January 22nd and Orlando, Florida, Thursday, February 4th. These sessions will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at noon. A webinar will follow in February.

"The first round of Town Halls provided invaluable insight and dialogue as we formulated the proposed corporate regulation. These next meetings will build on that foundation," stated Chairman Matz. "The proposed corporate rule, approved at our November 19th board meeting, has a 90-day comment period. During this time we are hoping to hear from all interested stakeholders in written form or in these Town Hall meetings. I encourage all interested parties to add their voices to this process."
