ALEXANDRIA, Va. — NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland discussed the need for credit unions to put their focus on their members in all of their efforts.
"As I have often stated," Hyland said, "if you believe in credit unions, you believe in their members. That belief carries over to all decisions, from products and services, to transparency." She also discussed the efforts of the Outreach Task Force she is chairing, provided a legislative update on CURIA, and the importance of member rights and benefits in light of recent credit union merger activity.
While in Cincinnati, Board Member Hyland also visited Bill Herring, CEO of Cincinnati Community Credit Union, at the credit union's Carthage branch. This particular branch serves a largely Hispanic and low-income community. She also stopped in to see Smart Money Community Services Executive Director Lisa Roberts-Rosser; Smart money is a nonprofit organization supported by the credit union that provides financial education and service to underserved communities.

"Time and time again, I've had the opportunity to witness firsthand how credit unions are moving forward in underserved communities and helping low income families achieve the American dream," Hyland commented. "Cincinnati Community Credit Union and its partnership with Smart Money Community Services is just one example of how the credit union community is reaching out to those who need it most."
During her Delaware visit, Hyland joined Governor Ruth Ann Minner at a breakfast event for the league's annual meeting and served as the keynote speaker. "Governor Minner is very interested in helping the residents of Delaware strengthen themselves financially, and I was happy to highlight how credit unions are making a difference to all their members," Hyland said.
