ALEXANDRIA, Va.-NCUA has released a new video that is aimed at small credit unions interested in accessing free consultants. The video was created by the agency's Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives (OSCUI). NCUA provides the free videos on the agency's You Tube channel and via DVDs.
"While the first video in this series provided an introduction, this second video demonstrates how our staff succeeds in helping small credit unions survive," said NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz. "This new video highlights OSCUI's Direct Assistance program and the critical role our Economic Development Specialists (EDS) play in overcoming challenges facing small credit unions. Our EDS team provides selected small credit unions with valuable yet free expert consulting services."
NCUA Board Member Michael Fryzel opens the video by describing the interrelationship between the mission and goals of NCUA and the purpose of OSCUI. The office concentrates on four programs: training, loans and grants, partnership and outreach, and direct assistance.
OSCUI Director Bill Myers reviews the Direct Assistance program and the role of EDS staff. The program covers many facets of operational and strategic management concerns.
Credit union officials share their experiences with EDS consultants whose work has directly benefited their credit unions.
