“These Town Hall meetings will provide an invaluable and important venue to have genuine dialogue about a variety of critical issues,” noted Chairman Matz. “The dislocations experienced by the financial markets have had a significant effect on both corporate and natural person credit unions, and it is incumbent on NCUA and the industry to come together in a forward-looking and reasoned manner to find solutions. The ongoing corporate rulemaking is but one element of this process; I am hopeful that, working together, we can turn the broader challenges into a catalyst for changes that will set a course for an even brighter future for the credit union industry.”

The National Credit Union Administration is the independent federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA, with the backing of the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, operates the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), insuring the savings of nearly 87 million account holders in all federal credit unions and many state-chartered credit unions.
