Hyland Reps Agency At ID Theft Task Force Meeting

NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland represented the agency at the inaugural meeting of President Bush's Identity Theft Task Force. The task force, co-chaired by the attorney general and the chairman of the FTC, includes representatives from other executive branch departments and the federal financial regulatory agencies. The task force's goals include: aggressive law enforcement actions designed to prevent, investigate and prosecute ID theft; improved public outreach to better educate the public about ID theft and address how the private sector can implement measures to protect personal data; and increased safeguards that federal departments, agencies and instrumentalities can implement.
