Hyland Leads Final Outreach 'Town Hall' Meeting: Work Begins on Report

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - NCUA's Outreach Task Force, charged with evaluating the Member Service Assessment Pilot, is working on putting together its report now that all six of the group's "town hall meetings" in various locations throughout the country are complete. The topics addressed included: programs and processes to encourage outreach to underserved communities; value of low-income designation; and data collection on member income and executive compensation. "The town hall meetings are a critical component of the Task Force's mission of evaluating the MSAP in order to make recommendations aimed at enhancing service to credit union members," said NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland, who chairs the task force. "As we facilitated these meetings across the country, the support the credit union community has given to the Task Force has been exemplary, and the insights shared will prove to be invaluable as the Task Force deliberates to produce the report."
