Thaler at DoD roundtable on financial readiness

NAFCU Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler attended a financial readiness roundtable held Thursday by the Defense Department on how to improve servicemembers' financial situations.

The event was hosted by the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Force Education and Force Training.

The meeting discussed the department's initiatives to improve financial readiness in the wake of new provisions included in the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, passed by Congress last year.

NAFCU has been a long-time participant in DoD's financial readiness initiatives. Credit unions can get an update on DoD efforts by attending NAFCU's Defense Credit Union Summit, set for June 14 in downtown Nashville at the association's Annual Conference and Solutions Expo.
