Compliance Blog

Written by Steve Van Beek

Shameless Plug:  We'll be upfront here - this blog post will discuss NAFCU's upcoming compliance conferences.  With all the proposed and final rules from multiple agencies (and specifically the CFPB), it is as important as ever to get in-person training and, more importantly, network with your colleagues (almost 200 signed up for Seminar already) who will prove to be useful sounding boards over the next couple of years.  

NAFCU's 2012 Regulatory Compliance Seminar - Seattle, Washington - October 23-26.  This year's Regulatory Compliance Seminar is chock-full of great topics - and great speakers.  I'm just going to provide bullets on the topics and you can see for yourself the richness of the content:
