According to the NACUC, today's challenging economic environment calls for the board and supervisory committee to join forces to address increased risk, employ good governance practices and address current and future compliance issues. In addition, developing clear definitions, roles and responsibilities of each group is critical. Some of the questions this year's attendees will be exploring regarding their supervisory committees will include everything from what is your credit union doing to elevate the profile of the supervisory committee and bolster members' trust and confidence in the credit union, to how have the responsibilities of your supervisory committee changed to meet the demands of this current economic and regulatory environment?

The NACUC Chairmen's Roundtable will be held Oct. 14-17.
