ALEXANDRIA, Va. — NCUA Vice Chairman Rodney Hood is not far from announcing a date for his Risk Mitigation Summit, a timely topic in the current economic environment.

The event will take place either late this year or early in 2007, which is really hinging on the invited keynoter, whom he did not disclose. The location will be Washington, D.C.; the vice chairman is currently looking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Attendance will be limited to 150 credit unions, but transcripts will be prepared for those who are unable to attend.

"I am going to be convening a summit for the credit union system to talk about effective and future trends in risk management," Hood explained. He emphasized that the summit was not prompted by concerns he has about credit unions. "The credit union system has never been more vibrant and more robust," he said.
