Teaming up with Community to Build Growth: NCUA

How can credit unions build community partnerships to provide more products and services?

The National Credit Union Administration will try to answer that and related questions in a 90-minute webinar “High-Impact Community Partnerships.” NCUA will host the webinar at 2 p.m. Eastern on Sept. 1.  

Vanessa Love, an economic development specialist with NCUA’s Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives, and guest speakers Karen Smith, executive director of Montana Credit Unions for Community Development, and Michael Wade, senior tax analyst with the Internal Revenue Service, will discuss various topics that include:

• Volunteer Income Tax Assistance impact numbers and changes that streamline participation;
• Strategies for partnering with established VITA sites to grow membership;
• Partnering with individual development accounts that match savings;
• Federal Home Loan Bank’s four-to-one match for first-time homebuyers; and
• Integrating high-impact programs into your overall business strategy.
