FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 9, 2011

WASHINGTON – With less than three weeks to go before NAFCU's 44th Annual Conference & Exhibition, the association is encouraging credit union professionals to secure their registration and accommodations for the meeting, which will be held June 28 – July 2 at the Moscone West Convention Center in San Francisco.

Individuals can still earn a $100 discount on the current annual conference registration price through Friday, June 10, by visiting www.nafcu.org/annualwebhunt and answering five trivia questions relating to the conference. Participation in the Web Hunt will also make entrants eligible to win a $100 Discover gift card.

To register, visit www.nafcu-annual.org or call 1-800-344-5580.

"Our conference is proving to be very popular, which isn't surprising considering the high caliber of speakers and sessions as well as the fun and eclectic location—a top 10 U.S. travel destination, according to Condé Nast Traveler magazine," said NAFCU President Fred Becker.

Highlights from the conference include:

  • engaging presentations by Gordon Bethune, architect of Continental Airlines' astonishing financial turnaround, and Pat Williams, the Orlando Magic's promotional and marketing wizard;
  • five educational tracks, including Board & Supervisory Committee, Executive, Management & Operations, Regulatory & Finance, and Growth & Lending;
  • vital updates on the latest regulatory and legislative news to come out of Washington; and
  • NAFCU's Defense Credit Union Summit featuring keynote luncheon speaker Holly Petraeus of the Office of Servicemember Affairs for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (separate registration required).

NAFCU is the only national organization of credit unions that focuses exclusively on federal issues affecting credit unions, representing its members before the federal government and the public.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically.   [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters.  [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
