The NAFCU Board will travel to the Federal Reserve today to meet with Vice Chairman of Supervision Randal Quarles, continuing its meetings with key agency leaders to share credit unions' perspective on industry priorities and issues.

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger, Executive Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt, Chief Economist and Vice President of Research Curt Long, and several other staff members will also attend today's meeting.

The meeting coincides with the release of NAFCU's annual Report on Credit Unions and will be an opportunity to further discuss industry priorities and credit unions' use of Fed services to meet members' needs. A copy of the report will be sent to NAFCU members following the meeting.
