Compliance Blog

Written by Anthony Demangone 

When my father dropped me off at McKean Hall for my freshman year at Penn State, I knew I wanted to be a journalist.  I quickly joined the college newspaper and started writing.  I never found stories about intrigue and politics interesting to write.  Rather, I focused on things that interested me.  

I somehow got sidetracked on my road to the Pulitzer Prize. Life happens.  But my love of writing never wore off.  That’s one of the reasons I started the NAFCU Compliance Blog back in 2007.  

But life happened…again.   When I took on the role of NAFCU COO, I handed off this blog to Steve’s capable hands.  

Well, the addiction has overtaken me yet again.  As Steve mentioned a few weeks ago, I’ve started a new blog – Musings from the CU Suite.  What’s the new angle?  Work and management are tough.  But there’s a ton of good information out there about how to be better at both.  My new blog will attempt to bring the best of all of that to you.  

I hope you consider wandering over to sign up for the blog.  It would be great to have you join the conversation.

Now, I did write along those lines a wee bit back in the day.  Here are some of those old posts, which I hope you find useful.  

• Just how did my view of compliance change now that I’m NAFCU’s COO?
• A good compliance officer should try to read the tea leaves.
• In an age of Google, Facebook, Twitter, and iPads, don’t forget the research power of picking up the phone. 
• The art of making decisions when you are “off the grid.”
• My ode to compliance officers.  

Have a great week, guys.
